About this map

Gardiner and the surrounding coastline of the Quimper Peninsula sit at the strategic meeting of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Discovery Bay. This mid-century coastal survey captures a landscape defined by maritime landmarks like Diamond Point and Cape George, while the interior shows the transition into the Sunshine and Miller land divisions. The settlement of Blyn is documented along the shore of Sequim Bay, featuring a local cemetery and the Blyn Lookout Relay Station on the heights above.

Transport patterns are anchored by the Seattle Olympic and Western Highway, providing a terrestrial link between these coastal outposts. The offshore presence of Protection Island, with its distinct Kanem Point and Violet Point, serves as a sentinel for the entrance to the bay. Small-scale industrial activity is represented by a Quarry near the shoreline, while the Diamond Point Airport suggests the early modern integration of aviation into this maritime corridor.
