1961 Map of Ediz Hook

About this map

Ediz Hook dominates this coastal survey, forming a natural breakwater that shelters the deep-water Port Angeles Harbor from the waves of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The map illustrates a pivotal era for the Clallam County waterfront, showing the transition between maritime tradition and industrial logistics. A Coast Guard Sta stands at the tip of the spit, while the landward side features the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail line and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier transit routes. In the city of Port Angeles, the residential and commercial grid meets the shoreline at The Lagoon, providing a detailed look at the urban boundary and local infrastructure like 18th St as they existed during the mid-to-late twentieth century.
