2020 Map of Maytown

About this map

Tumwater and its surrounding rural corridors are captured here during a period of sustained modern development south of the Washington state capital. The landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes including Black Lake, Scott Lake, and Deep Lake, which serve as focal points for residential clusters like Belmore and South Union. The central corridor is dominated by the Olympia Regional Airport and the BNSF Railway, illustrating the intersection of regional transit and commerce. Significant conservation efforts are represented by the Billy Frank Jr Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge and the open spaces of Rocky Prairie. In the northern section, the Olympic Memorial Garden Cem sits near Bush Prairie, while the southern reaches center on the community of Maytown. This survey details the transition from established suburban centers to the agricultural and prairie lands that characterize the Thurston County interior.
