2011 Map of Maytown

About this map

Bush Prairie and the sprawling glacial lake systems south of Tumwater define this portion of Thurston County. The landscape is characterized by a high density of small water bodies, including Black Lake, Deep Lake, and Scott Lake, which are interspersed between rural settlements like Belmore and Maytown. The northern section is dominated by the Olympia Municipal Airport and the Olympic Memorial Garden Cemetery, while the southern reaches feature the protected woods of Millersylvania State Park. Interstate 5 carves a distinct path through the center, connecting these historic communities. The presence of South Union and the varied creek networks, such as Salmon Creek and Beaver Creek, show a region where residential development and recreational spaces are closely tied to the natural hydrology of the Deschutes River basin.
