About this map

Spanaway and its surrounding communities sit at the edge of the sprawling McChord Field military reservation, defined by a landscape where suburban residential grids meet historic prairie and marshland. The map highlights the recreational and residential importance of Spanaway Lake, featuring Enchanted Island and the headwaters of Spanaway Creek. To the north, the settlement of Brookdale is tucked near the bends of Clover Creek, while the southern reaches transition into the more open Thirteenth Division Prairie.

Transport patterns are shaped by long-standing routes like Pacific Ave S and the Cross-Base Hwy, which bisect the area near Loveland. The presence of numerous small water bodies and wetlands, such as Johnson Marsh, illustrates the complex drainage of the Pierce County lowlands. This detailed record of the 2020 landscape captures the established neighborhoods of Rocky Ridge and the dense street networks that have developed around the historic core of the community.
