1953 Map of Cape Flattery

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Strait of Juan de Fuca divides this maritime region, marking the international boundary between British Columbia and Washington. On the northern shore, Vancouver Island settlements like Ucluelet and Port Renfrew sit amidst the Vancouver Island Provincial Forest. To the south, the northwestern tip of the United States is dominated by the Makah Indian Res and the prominent Cape Flattery. The map captures the remote timber and coastal economy of the mid-20th century, showing early road networks connecting Sekiu and Clallam Bay. An Old Railroad Grade winds through the interior near Beaver, evidencing the area's logging history. Coastal landmarks such as Tatoosh I and the Flattery National Wildlife Refuge highlight the transition from the protected waters of Barkley Sound to the open Pacific Ocean.
