About this map

Mc Chord Air Force Base and the Pacific Lutheran University campus anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, representing the mid-century expansion of military and educational infrastructure in Pierce County. The urban grid of Tacoma gives way to a dense network of suburbs and unincorporated communities like Parkland, Brookdale, and Salishan. The map captures a moment of intense postwar development, evidenced by the proliferation of neighborhood schools such as Mary Lyon Sch and Keithley Middle Sch, alongside massive civic landmarks like the Tacoma Dome and the Tacoma Mall.
