1953 Map of Fox Island

About this map

Carr Inlet and Henderson Bay define this mid-century maritime landscape, where the Puget Sound's intricate shoreline connects small peninsular communities. The mapping period is notably marked by the Hale Passage Bridge (Under Construction), a critical infrastructure development linking Fox Island to the mainland. The area is a mix of recreational and scientific sites, including Camp Seymour on Glen Cove, Camp Colman at Horsehead Bay, and the State Biological Sta and Fish Hatchery near Minter. Residents and visitors of the era frequented Penrose Point State Park and local community hubs like the Minter Community Center. The map also captures several small settlements such as Arletta, Rosedale, and Key Center, alongside family-named terrain features like Ford Hill and Thompson Spit.
