1900 Map of Tacoma
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The Puyallup Indian Reservation and Muckleshoot Indian Reservation anchor this late 19th-century landscape, illustrating the complex intersection of indigenous lands and rapid industrial expansion. From the deep waters of Commencement Bay, the Northern Pacific Railway and the Puget Sound Shore Line strike inland, following the river valleys to connect burgeoning coal and timber centers like Carbonado, Wilkeson, and Black Diamond. The map documents a time when the White River and Stuck River still maintained their historic courses before major twentieth-century diversions changed the regional hydrology.
