About this map

McNeil Island dominates this maritime landscape of the southern Puget Sound, characterized by its long-standing institutional use as a Prison Farm. The island is surrounded by specialized water systems like Butterworth Reservoir and Eden Cr Reservoir, alongside a dedicated McNeil Island Ferry route that connects it to the mainland. To the south, Anderson Island reveals a more residential character, featuring a network of local roads such as Eckenstam Johnson Rd and Yoman Rd that wind between Florence Lake and Josephine Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including the German Lutheran Cem on the Great Peninsula and the Hillcrest Cem on McNeil Island. The map also records the presence of Joint Base Lewis-McChord on the eastern shore near Ketron Island, where the terrain rises toward Thirtieth Infantry Bluff. This coastal topography is defined by numerous points and passages, from Pitt Passage in the north to the Nisqually Reach in the south.
