1941 Map of Tacoma South

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Puyallup Valley serves as a central artery for transportation and industry on the southern outskirts of Tacoma during the early 1940s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of competing rail lines, including the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Northern Pacific, which connect the urban core to industrial outposts and agricultural hubs like the Western Washington Experiment Station. Educational and institutional life is prominent, evidenced by Pacific Lutheran College in Parkland and the Mary Mount Military Academy near Spanaway Lake. To the south, the vast Fort Lewis Military Reservation borders rural reaches where small settlements such as Loveland and Thrift are tied to the land. Historical markers like the Site of Old Ft Malone (1856) and Site of Old Camp Montgomery (1856) provide significant lineage for local researchers tracing mid-19th-century pioneer and military history.
