About this map

Tacoma and its southern residential and industrial reaches are mapped here during a period of established urban density, following the winding course of the Puyallup River near Tacoma Junction. The map captures the distinct neighborhood identities of places like Fern Hill, Parkland, and Salishan, alongside institutional anchors such as Pacific Lutheran University. Significant infrastructure for the city's water and commerce is evident through the Hood Street Reservoir and numerous post offices including Lincoln Station Tacoma Post Office.

A network of cemeteries and parks, including Oak Wood Cemetery and the Mount View Memorial Park, provides insight into the community's local history and land use. The presence of specialized facilities like the Clover Park Vocational Technical School Airport and the complex of reservoirs like the Portland Avenue Reservoir Dam illustrates the intersection of education, utility, and urban planning in this portion of Pierce County.
