1953 Map of Brinnon

About this map

Hood Canal and Dabob Bay frame this mid-century view of eastern Jefferson County, where the Olympic mountains meet the saltwater. The settlement of Brinnon and the surrounding Brinnon Flats serve as the focal point for coastal life, situated near the mouths of the Dosewallips River and Duckabush River. The map highlights a landscape transitioning from the maritime activity of Pleasant Harbor to the deep wilderness of the Olympic National Forest. Local infrastructure like the Brinnon School and the Interrem Guard Station indicate a community tied to both education and forestry management. Inland, the Jupiter Trail and Dosewallips Road provide the primary access into the steep terrain of Mt Turner and Green Hill, while the Olympic Highway traces the shoreline, connecting the small coastal landings and state parks.
