1957 Map of Clallam Bay

About this map

Clallam Bay serves as a critical maritime anchor on this mid-century survey of the Olympic Peninsula's northern coastline. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber industry of the era, evidenced by the Logging Railroad winding through the lowlands and the numerous creeks like Rasmussen Cr and Jansen Cr that cut through the coastal ridges. The map captures the international boundary within the Strait of Juan de Fuca, separating Washington from British Columbia's Vancouver Island, where the Provincial Forest is visible across the water.
