About this map

The waters of Puget Sound and American Lake define this detailed landscape of suburban growth and military infrastructure in Pierce County. The map documents the high density of civic and medical institutions that characterize the area, from the Western Washington State Hospital to the American Lake Veterans Hospital. These facilities sit alongside extensive military grounds, including a portion of the Mcchord Air Force Base and the Fort Lewis North Post.

Suburban development is centered around established communities like Steilacoom, University Place, and Fircrest, interspersed with numerous schools such as Curtis High Sch and Clover Park High Sch. The landscape also reveals a significant concentration of local history markers, including the Steilacoom Masonic Cem and Byrd Cem. The transition from the coastal bluffs of Cormorant Passage to the inland lakes like Steilacoom Lake illustrates the region's complex residential and recreational geography during the late 1990s.
