1943 Map of Humptulips

Settlement patterns follow the water, from the namesake town of Humptulips in the north to Aberdeen Gardens and New London further south. Local education and infrastructure are evidenced by the Springfield Sch and Wishkah Valley Sch, alongside the Hoquiam Water Works and a Pumping Plant on the Little Hoquiam River. This map documents the transition between the dense timber of the Olympic foothills and the emerging rural communities before the mid-century expansion of the regional highway system.
