About this map

The Puyallup River and its accompanying industrial corridors dominate the landscape of South Tacoma and its neighboring suburbs in this 2014 survey. Highlighting the intersection of art and infrastructure, the Chihuly Bridge of Glass and Puyallup Avenue Bridge connect the downtown core to the Port of Tacoma Interchange. The map provides a detailed view of the suburban expansion south toward Spanaway and Frederickson, including the established neighborhoods of Fern Hill, Salishan, and Oakland.

Educational and military institutions anchor the southern half of the sheet, most notably the Pacific Lutheran University campus and its adjacent University Golf Course. To the west, the expansive grounds of McChord Field Airport transition into the residential areas of Lakewood. Significant cemetery sites such as Mt View Memorial Park and Oak Wood Cemetery serve as important landmarks for local history and genealogy research.
