1957 Map of Cape Flattery

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The northwest tip of the contiguous United States, centered on the Makah Indian Reservation, shows a landscape where maritime defense and indigenous territory meet. Military and federal installations like the Makah Air Force Station and a Coast Guard Station at Neah Bay overlook the vital shipping lanes of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The map details the rugged Pacific coastline, from the iconic Tatoosh Island and its surrounding rocks like Fuca Pillar to the southern Portage Head. Inland, the terrain is defined by dramatic elevations such as Bahokus Peak and the drainage networks of the Waatch River and Sooes River. The presence of an Old Grade and RR Grade suggests the region's historic reliance on timber extraction or early logistical networks through the dense coastal forests.
