About this map

The Canada United States border defines the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where the Customs Bldg stands near the heart of Blaine. The town sits at the mouth of Drayton Harbor, a sheltered inlet separated from the open waters of Birch Bay to the south. In the early 1950s, the rural character of the region is evident in the cluster of family-named roads and community anchors like the Haynie Community Hall and Haynie Grange.

Transport and land use follow the terrain, with the Great Northern railroad cutting a diagonal line across the landscape toward Custer. The interior is marked by scattered cemeteries including Hillsdale Cem and Kulshan Cem, alongside educational landmarks like Whitehorn Sch. To the south, the State Game Range surrounds Lake Terrell, highlighting the conservation and recreational priorities of the era.
