About this map

McNeil Island and Anderson Island dominate this coastal landscape within the Puget Sound, illustrating a unique intersection of carceral history and conservation. The northern half of the sheet is largely defined by the McNeil Island Corrections Center and the surrounding McNeil Island Wildlife Area, while Anderson Island shows a more residential and recreational character with its inland lakes like Florence Lake and Josephine Lake.

Family history and maritime activity are evidenced by landmarks such as Anderson Island Cem, Hillcrest Cem, and the Johnson Landing site. Small coastal settlements like Delano Beach on the Key Peninsula and Villa Beach contrast with the presence of the Fort Lewis Military Reservation at the southeastern edge. This survey documents the complex ferry-reliant infrastructure of the South Sound, including the Steilacoom Ferry route and private ferry passages serving the islands.
