2011 Map of Nisqually

About this map

The Nisqually River delta dominates this 2011 landscape, where the river meets the Nisqually Reach of the Puget Sound. This environment is defined by its transition from the tidal Nisqually Flats to the upland bluffs of the Eighteenth Infantry Bluff and Thirty-eight Infantry Bluff. Residential expansion is evident in the planned streets of DuPont and smaller clusters like Mushroom Corner and Beachcrest. The map documents a complex water management system, including the Nisqually Trout Farm Dam and the Medicine Creek Reservoir Dam, highlighting the intersection of natural hydrology and local industry. To the east, numerous named summits such as Meade Hill and Foster Hill provide topographic variety near the BNSF Railway corridor, while the southern portion of the sheet is anchored by the irregular shoreline of Lake Saint Clair and the community of Saint Clair.
