About this map

Neah Bay stands as the primary hub of the Makah Indian Reservation on this 1938 tactical survey of the Olympic Peninsula's northwestern tip. The local maritime economy is clearly defined by Washburns Dock and the Washburns Cannery, emphasizing the region's reliance on the surrounding waters. To the west, Cape Flattery and Tatoosh Island mark the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, a critical maritime boundary between the United States and the Dominion of Canada. Inland, the map reveals a series of private holdings including Holdens Ranch, Tylers Ranch, and Hunters Ranch, while infrastructure like the Neah Bay S H and Washburn S H serves the remote population. The presence of the U. S. Military Agency Reserve underscores the strategic importance of this coastline in the late 1930s.
