USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The State Capitol stands at the center of this 1950s survey, overlooking Capitol Lake and the southern reaches of Budd Inlet. This map captures the urban development of Olympia and Tumwater before the full impact of interstate construction, showing the convergence of the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific railroads along the Deschutes River. The landscape transitions from the developed waterfront and city grid to the wooded elevations of the Black Hills to the southwest.
