About this map

The tip of the Kitsap Peninsula and the southern reach of Whidbey Island converge in this mid-century survey of the maritime gateway to Puget Sound. Centered on the settlement of Hansville, the map details a landscape defined by its strategic coastal points, from Point No Point with its marked Light to the prominent heights of Foulweather Bluff overlooking Admiralty Inlet. The terrain shows a mixture of wooded uplands and small coastal water bodies like Buck Lake and Oliver Lake, illustrating the rural development patterns of the 1950s.

A Ferry route crosses the sound from Double Bluff toward the Kitsap side, highlighting the water-dependent transit of the era. The presence of a Cem near Hansville and scattered residences along Lagoon Road and Wall Road provides concrete data for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Washington. The boundary between Kitsap and Jefferson Counties is clearly delineated as it cuts through the Hood Canal near Hood Head.
