1968 Map of Duwamish Head

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The waters of Puget Sound define this coastal survey, which highlights the heavy urban expansion of Seattle and its island neighbors in the late 1960s. The shoreline is a hub of maritime activity, marked by numerous transit routes including the Seattle-Winslow Ferry and the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth Ferry. On the mainland, the residential growth of West Seattle is evident through dense street grids and established community anchors like West Seattle High Sch and James Madison Jr High Sch. Across the water, Bainbridge Island and Vashon Island show smaller nodes of development like Creosote and Vashon Heights. Noteworthy local landmarks such as the Laurel Beach Sanatorium and Schmitz Park provide a detailed look at the social and institutional geography of the sound just before the decade's close.
