About this map

The Dosewallips River and Duckabush River define the shoreline of Jefferson County on this mid-century survey, flowing from the heights of the Olympic National Forest into the waters of Dabob Bay and the Hood Canal. The settlement of Brinnon serves as the hub of the area, situated near the Brinnon Flats and the Brinnon School. Coastal geography is detailed through prominent points like Sylopash Pt, Black Point, and Quatsap Point, while inland infrastructure reflects the management of the surrounding wilderness.

Public lands and recreational sites are well-documented, including Dosewallips State Park and Pleasant Harbor State Marine Park. Higher elevations are marked by Mt Jupiter and Mt Turner, with the Jupiter Trail providing access to the interior. Notable administrative outposts like the Corrigenda Guard Station and Interrorem Guard Station indicate the active forestry and conservation presence in this era before modern expansion.
