1961 Map of Poverty Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Federal Way and the surrounding plateau appear here in the early 1960s, a period of rapid development between the shores of Poverty Bay and the river valleys to the east. The landscape is a complex mix of new residential growth and established agricultural pockets, organized around historic corridors like Military Road and the winding Peasley Canyon Road. Large residential tracts and local schools such as Steel Lake Sch and Panther Lake Sch begin to define the suburban shift, while the Northern Pacific railroad and the Green R mark the industrial activity in the Auburn and Algona lowlands.
