About this map

Tacoma and its southern suburbs are defined by a dense network of transit corridors and military history in this 2020 record. The landscape is anchored to the south by the extensive grounds of McChord Field (Joint Base Lewis-McChord), while the northern edge touches the industrial shoreline of Commencement Bay and the Puyallup Waterway. This survey documents the modern layout of diverse neighborhoods including South Tacoma, Salishan, and Parkland, where Pacific Lutheran University is situated.

Infrastructure like the Chihuly Bridge of Glass and the Puyallup Avenue Bridge spans the waterways, connecting the urban core to Fife and the Tacoma Junction. Genealogists will find several significant burial grounds and memorial sites, including the Old Tacoma City Cem, Oakwood Hill Cem, and Mount View Memorial Park. Natural drainage features like Swan Creek and Clover Cr persist amidst the suburban expansion of Lakewood and Midland.
