1959 Map of Spanaway

About this map

Mc Chord Air Force Base dominates the northwestern portion of this Pierce County landscape, reflecting the significant military presence in the region during the late 1950s. The airfield and its associated storage areas sit adjacent to the recreational waters of Spanaway Lake, where Daron Island and nearby parks like Holiday Park provide a stark contrast to the structured military installations. The map captures a transition from suburban development in Spanaway and Brookdale to the more open, rural expanses of the Thirteenth Division Prairie.
