1953 Map of Cape Flattery

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Strait of Juan de Fuca serves as the international maritime corridor between the Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island in this 1953 survey, updated for the American side in 1968. On the Washington coast, the Makah Indian Res anchors the northernmost tip at Cape Flattery, where the Neah Bay Force Station overlooks the entrance to the inland waters. The landscape transition is stark, from the coastal reaches of the Olympic National Park and the isolated Ozette Lake to the timber-dense slopes of the Pelham Range and San Juan Ridge across the water. On the Canadian side, the settlement of Port Renfrew and the logging hub at Lake Cowichan highlight the resource-driven development of the Vancouver Island Provincial Forest. Local connectivity is defined by remote outposts like Ucluelet and Bamfield along the complex inlets of Barkley Sound.
