1953 Map of Mason Lake

About this map

Mason Lake serves as the central focal point of this coastal Washington survey, surrounded by a complex system of smaller water bodies and tidal passages. The map illustrates the mid-century development of the Olympic Peninsula's eastern fringe, where recreation and local industry meet at the shores of Hood Canal. Along the southern reaches of the sheet, the northern tip of Hartstene Island is separated from the mainland by the deep waters of Pickering Passage, with Walkers Landing and Sun Point marking the narrowest crossing points.
