About this map

The industrialized waterfront of Commencement Bay meets the southern tip of the Vashon-Maury landmass in this detailed mapping of the South Sound. The city of Tacoma is defined by its intricate network of maritime infrastructure, including the Thea Foss Waterway, Blair Waterway, and Hylebos Waterway, which carve deep into the Puyallup Valley. On the high ground, the University of Puget Sound and the Pierce County Courthouse anchor the urban core, while Old Tacoma and Northeast Tacoma show the residential expansion along the coast. To the north, across the Dalco Passage, the rural character of Vashon Island is preserved in settlements like Dockton and Manzanita. This layout illustrates the distinct separation between the intensive industrial shipping lanes of the harbor and the isolated residential enclaves of the islands.
