1953 Map of Gardiner

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Protection Island stands prominently in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, marking the northern approaches to the sheltered waters of Port Discovery and Sequim Bay. Along the southern shoreline, the small settlements of Gardiner and Blyn are connected by the Olympic Highway, a vital corridor for the Olympic Peninsula during the early 1950s. The industrial footprint of the era is evident in the path of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which follows the coast near the tidal flats. Local geography is defined by sharp coastal features like Diamond Pt and Cape George on the Quimper Peninsula, while the interior rises toward the Blyn Lookout Relay Station. This survey captures a moment when the region's economy was tightly bound to the rail lines and coastal timber shipping routes.
