USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Steilacoom and the southern reaches of Tacoma are defined by a complex interface of suburban growth, institutional land use, and major military installations during the mid-20th century. The prominent campus of the Western Washington State Hospital sits near Chambers Bay, surrounded by evolving residential tracts like Lakewood Center and University Place. Large swaths of the landscape are dedicated to the Fort Lewis Military Reservation and McChord Air Force Base, showing the significant defense footprint in Pierce County.
