1944 Map of Tacoma South

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Puyallup River valley and the southern reaches of the Tacoma metropolitan area are recorded here just before the mid-century suburban expansion. This wartime-era geography is defined by a heavy concentration of institutional and military footprints, including the US Indian Hospital and the sprawling Fort Lewis Military Reservation to the south. Historically significant sites are explicitly marked, such as the Site of Old Camp Montgomery (1854) and Site of Old Ft Malone (1856), providing a rare bridge between the mid-20th century and the mid-19th-century pioneer era.
