1954 Map of Bow

About this map

Samish Bay and the mudflats of Padilla Bay dominate this coastal landscape, where the Samish River and various sloughs meet the Puget Sound. The mid-century era is reflected in the clustered settlements of Edison, Bow, and Blanchard, which are interconnected by the Great Northern railroad and the scenic corridor of Chucknut Drive. The map provides a unique look at the drainage and land reclamation efforts through labels for numerous levees and the Edison Slough.
