2017 Map of Nisqually

About this map

Nisqually Reach and the northern tip of the Nisqually River delta form the heart of this landscape, where the saltwater of Puget Sound meets a complex network of marshes and bluffs. The area is defined by the intersection of the Nisqually Indian Community and the massive military installation at Fort Lewis, which occupies the eastern uplands. Significant hydrological features include McAllister Springs and the expansive Lake Saint Clair, while the land is punctuated by numerous named hills such as Hoffman Hill and Jansen Hill. The map also traces the Old Pacific Hwy corridor as it passes through the settlement of Nisqually. The presence of features like Thirty-eight Infantry Bluff and Eighteenth Infantry Bluff reflects the long-standing military presence on the bluffs overlooking the river valley.
