About this map

Tumwater and its surrounding prairie landscapes dominate this 2013 survey of the southern Puget Sound region. The area is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including Black Lake in the northwest and Deep Lake situated within the borders of Millersylvania State Park. The landscape transitions from the developed corridors near the Olympia Regional Airport to the more open reaches of Bush Prairie and the ecological unique Rocky Prairie to the south.

Smaller settlements and rural junctions like Belmore, South Union, and Maytown are connected by a grid of arterial roads such as Delphi Rd SW and Black Lake Blvd SW. The map also captures aviation history through the Cricket Field Airport and provides genealogical reference points like the Olympic Memorial Garden Cem. The drainage patterns of Salmon Cr and Beaver Cr illustrate the complex hydrology that shaped the settlement of these Thurston County communities.
