1961 Map of Puyallup

About this map

Puyallup and its neighboring valley communities are documented here during a period of significant suburban and commercial transition in Pierce County. The landscape is defined by the broad path of the Puyallup River and the historical roots of the valley, evidenced by the Fort Maloney Historical Marker and the expansive Western Washington State Fair Grounds. While agriculture remains represented by the Washington State Univ Puyallup Research And Extension Center, the growth of the late 20th century is clearly visible in the development of the South Hill Mall and the establishment of Pierce College.
