1950 Map of Ediz Hook

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Ediz Hook, a prominent sand spit extending into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, serves as the natural protective barrier for Port Angeles Harbor. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape defined by both strategic defense and maritime industry. The hook itself houses a U S Naval and Military Reservation and a U S Coast Guard Station, complete with an Airstrip and a Submarine and Small Boat Dock. Inside the harbor, the prominence of a large Log Storage Area and the presence of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line illustrate the importance of timber and rail transport to the local economy. Coastal infrastructure is further detailed by the inclusion of The Lagoon, extensive Tidal Flats, and a Ferry route crossing toward Victoria, marking the international boundary between the United States and Canada.
