About this map

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard dominates the Sinclair Inlet waterfront, reflecting the maritime and military foundation of this Kitsap County landscape during the early 1950s. The map illustrates a complex of naval infrastructure including the Naval Depot Junction and the expansive Camp Wesley Harris Rifle Range to the west. Residential growth is evident in the established neighborhoods of Bremerton, Charleston, and Navy Yard City, while educational institutions like Olympic College and Marion Ave Sch serve the expanding community.

Beyond the industrial shoreline, the terrain rises toward Kitsap Lake and the timbered hills. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous memorial sites, such as Ivy Green Cem and Woodlawn Memorial Park. The shoreline of Dyes Inlet and Ostrich Bay is dotted with points like Madrona Point, showing a transition from dense urban naval centers to more dispersed settlements at Chico and Sunnyslope.
