1997 Map of Nisqually

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

The Nisqually River delta defines this landscape at the turn of the millennium, where the river meets the Nisqually Reach of Puget Sound. Large portions of the terrain are dedicated to conservation and military use, specifically the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge and the sprawling Fort Lewis Military Reservation. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of two distinct early trading outposts: the Fort Nisqually 1833 Historical Site near the DuPont Wharf and the Fort Nisqually 1843 Historical Site further inland. The transition from industrial and military history to modern environmental stewardship is visible across the Nisqually Flats. Settlement patterns are concentrated near Beachcrest and the village of Nisqually, while the inland area is marked by numerous named peaks like Monette Hill and Atkins Hill within the Argonne Forest.
