Scope and content
This aerial view of Tacoma's business district and industrial tideflats was taken on April 5, 1966 - forty years ago. From high above the city some familiar landmarks, such as the 11th Street Bridge (now the Murray Morgan Bridge) and the channelized Puyallup River, are easy to pick out. Heavy smoke billows from the St. Regis Paper Company plant (now Simpson Tacoma Kraft) which is flanked by the Puyallup Waterway and the St. Paul Waterway. Missing are the new 509 cable-stay bridge spanning the Thea Foss Waterway and I-705.
