1953 Map of Gardiner

About this map

Discovery Bay and Sequim Bay frame the rugged shoreline of the Quimper Peninsula in this coastal survey. The settlement of Gardiner sits along the Olympic Highway, while the western edge of the map follows the corridor of the Seattle and North Coast railroad near Blyn. To the north, Protection Island stands in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, featuring the distinct points of Kanem Pt and Violet Pt. The landscape transitions from sea-level points like Diamond Pt and Thompson Spit to high elevations at the Blyn Lookout Relay Station. This edition reflects land-use patterns from the mid-20th century with 1980s updates, documenting a rural maritime economy marked by a Quarry and small landmarks like the Diamond Point Airport.
