2014 Map of Steilacoom

About this map

Steilacoom and its historic waterfront anchor this 2014 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by the deep waters of the Puget Sound and a dense network of freshwater basins. The map captures the specialized transportation links of the South Sound, specifically the Steilacoom - Anderson Ferry and Steilacoom - Ketron Ferry routes departing from the Steilacoom Ferry Landing. Inward from the coast, the terrain is characterized by large glacial lakes, including Gravelly Lake, Steilacoom Lake, and American Lake, which are surrounded by established residential communities like Lakewood and University Place. The presence of North Fort Lewis at the southern margin and institutional hubs such as Pierce Coll at Ft-Steilacoom reflects the area's dual role as a military and educational center. Notable local landmarks like Ponders Corner and Titlow provide specific points of reference for genealogists tracing 21st-century suburban development patterns.
