1937 Map of Olympia
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The southern reaches of Puget Sound converge at Olympia, where the state capital is shown just before the mid-century expansion of its suburban and industrial footprint. This 1930s survey captures the region's complex shoreline, defined by fingers of water like Budd Inlet and Eld Inlet, and the intricate network of islands and passages including Squaxon Island Reservation and Pickering Passage. The landscape is a mix of maritime activity and early inland development, with the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads linking the waterfront to timber and milling centers like Union Mills.
