About this map

Freeland and Greenbank anchor this mid-century survey of Whidbey Island, where the land narrows between Holmes Harbor and Admiralty Inlet. The map reveals a mix of coastal development and military utility, most notably at the Hancock Lake Target Range and the surrounding Naval Reservation Bdy. Along the western shore, the Bush Point Lighthouse marks a critical navigation point for maritime traffic entering Puget Sound.

Residential growth is evident in newer plats like Baby Island Heights and Beverly Beach along Saratoga Passage. Inland, the landscape is defined by small water bodies such as Lake Hancock and Chase Lake, alongside localized industries including a Quarry and various Gravel Pits. Local landmarks like a Windmill near Freeland and a Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the island's mid-century footprint.
