1949 Map of Duwamish Head

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Puget Sound serves as the central corridor for a complex network of mid-century maritime transit, connecting the bustling neighborhoods of West Seattle and Seattle with the surrounding islands. The map documents an era when marine travel was the primary link for communities like Vashon Heights on Vashon Island and Creosote on Bainbridge Island. A series of established routes, including the Seattle-Winslow Ferry and the Fauntleroy-Vashon Ferry, crisscross the water, tying the residential growth at Arbor Heights and High Point to the broader regional economy.
