1963 Map of Cape Flattery

About this map

Cape Flattery stands as the northwesternmost point of the contiguous United States, anchoring a maritime landscape where the Strait of Juan de Fuca meets the Pacific Ocean. This 1963 edition, compiled from earlier military surveys, details the rugged coastlines of both the Olympic Peninsula and southern Vancouver Island. The map highlights the extensive Makah Indian Reserve, including the settlements at Neah Bay and the peaks of Bahokus Peak and Waatch Peak. Inland, the terrain is defined by the dense reaches of the Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park, showing the network of logging roads and early settlements like Sekiu, Sappho, and Pysht. Across the international boundary in British Columbia, the timber and mining geography around Cowichan Lake and Port Renfrew is clearly visible, connected by the San Juan River and the high ridges of the Seymour Range.
