About this map

Hood Canal separates the Kitsap and Toandos Peninsula in this 1950s record, capturing a maritime landscape defined by ferry crossings and timbered ridges. The settlement of Lofall serves as a key eastern landing, while across the water, Shine and its nearby Shine Lookout anchor the northern reaches of Jefferson County. The map details a transition from shorefront activity to upland resources, marked by the Pipeline and the north-south transit of the Willamette Meridian.

Local civic life is well-documented through rural landmarks such as Standard Sch, Vinland Church, and the Grange Hall near Breidablick. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the northern edge of the Naval Reservation, contrasting with the public recreational space at Kitsap Memorial State Park. Smaller inland waters like Thorndyke Lake and Pheasant Lake dot the western terrain, providing a look at the natural drainage patterns into Thorndyke Bay.
