1957 Map of Clallam Bay

About this map

Clallam Bay and the adjacent settlement of Sekiu anchor this coastal survey, which captures the industrial and maritime character of the Olympic Peninsula's northern shore during the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by the proximity to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with the international boundary separating the United States from Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Inland, the map reveals a heavy reliance on the timber industry, marked by a Logging Railroad and various Logging Roads that weave through the drainage basins of the Hoko River and Sekiu River. Notable coastal landmarks such as Slip Point, Shipwreck Point, and Eagle Point illustrate the varied shoreline where small creeks like Jansen Cr and Rasmussen Cr meet the sea. The inclusion of the Juan De Fuca Provincial Forest on the Canadian side provides a trans-border perspective on the region's shared geography and natural resources.
