1953 Map of Fox Island

About this map

Henderson Bay and Carr Inlet dominate this coastal survey, which documents the maritime landscape of the Key Peninsula and its neighboring islands. The shoreline is punctuated by small residential clusters and recreational camps, including Camp Colman at Horsehead Bay and Camp Seymour on Glen Cove. On the mainland, the map details the infrastructure of rural life, from the Minter Community Center near the State Biological Sta and Fish Hatchery to the established neighborhoods of Arletta and Artondale. Significant transportation developments are visible, most notably the Fox Island Bridge connecting the main island to the peninsula. State land preservation is also evident at Kopachuck State Park and Penrose Point State Park, reflecting a mid-century balance between residential growth and the protection of the Puget Sound waterfront.
