1953 Map of Belfair

About this map

The northern tip of Hood Canal serves as the focal point for this landscape, where the waters of Lynch Cove meet the mouth of the Union River. This area is characterized by its strategic naval and transportation infrastructure, most notably the U.S. Navy Railroad that cuts through the terrain near Belfair Siding and Bear Creek Station. The settlement of Belfair occupies the central crossroads, supported by several educational institutions including Belfair Sch and the North Mason High Sch. To the south, the community of Allyn sits along the shores of North Bay on the Key Peninsula. Recreational and conservation interests are well-represented by the Union River Wildlife Area, Belfair State Park, and the St Albans-Tacoma Girl Scout Camp near Devereaux Lake, highlighting the region's balance between industrial utility and natural preservation.
