1949 Map of Tacoma North

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The industrial heartbeat of Tacoma and its maritime approaches are captured in this mid-century survey, detailing the complex network of waterways that define the Port of Tacoma. From the Hylebos Waterway to the Middle Waterway, the map illustrates a landscape transformed by commerce and naval requirements, including the U S Navy Shipyard. This era shows the city’s established educational anchors, such as the College of Puget Sound, Stadium High Sch, and the Annie Wright Seminary, situated on the bluffs overlooking Commencement Bay.
