1959 Map of Steilacoom

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The waters of Puget Sound and Steilacoom Lake define this detailed 1990s revision of a mid-century survey, showcasing the dense residential and institutional development of Pierce County. Large-scale military and public land uses dominate the landscape, from the sprawling grounds of Fort Lewis Military Reservation and McChord Air Force Base to the American Lake Veterans Hospital. The map records a significant concentration of local heritage sites, including the Gravelly Lake Old Settlers Cem and the Steilacoom Masonic Cem, which offer deep roots for genealogical research in one of the state's earliest settled areas.
