About this map

Tumwater anchors the northern edge of this landscape, where the Deschutes River flows through a mix of suburban development and established aviation infrastructure at the Olympia Regional Airport. The terrain to the south transitions into a series of distinctive prairies and water bodies, including Bush Prairie and the larger Black Lake. This 2017 survey reveals the persistent rural-residential patterns of Belmore and South Union, which remain separated from the more concentrated growth to the north.

Hydrology plays a defining role throughout the quadrangle, from the wetlands of the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge to the headwaters of Salmon Creek and the Black River. Local history and geography are preserved in labels for family-named water bodies like Munn Lake and Pitman Lake, while the southern reaches near Maytown are characterized by the open spaces of Rocky Prairie and the clustered residences around Scott Lake.
