2017 Map of Poverty Bay

About this map

Federal Way and the surrounding communities of the south Puget Sound region appear in extensive detail at the turn of the 21st century. The landscape is characterized by a dense suburban network of residential streets and arterial roads like Marine View Dr S and S Dash Point Rd, which wind through the varied terrain between the shoreline of Poverty Bay and the industrial corridors of Auburn and Fife. This era shows the established suburban character of Lakeland North and Lakeland South, alongside numerous glacial lakes such as Star Lake, Steel Lake, and Mirror Lake. Significant local landmarks for genealogical research include Mountain View Cem and Gethsemane Cem, while the presence of the DeVry Univ - Washington campus reflects the area's modern development. The map captures the complex drainage patterns of Hylebos Cr and Wapato Cr as they flow toward the Commencement Bay vicinity.
