Scope and content
The neatly laid out streets of downtown Tacoma and a portion of the industrial Tideflats area were photographed by airplane on June 16, 1958. Tacoma had concentrated its main financial and business districts in the downtown area. The 11th St. Bridge, visible crossing the City (now Thea Foss) Waterway, extends into the Tideflats. Smoke billows from the various pulp and paper mills in this more sparsely inhabited area. The Tideflats was home to railroad, lumber, and shipbuilding interests.
