1953 Map of Mason Lake

About this map

Mason Lake dominates this coastal landscape in the mid-1950s, serving as a focal point for local settlement at Little Hoquiam and Shady Beach. Along the southeastern edge of the map, Pickering Passage separates the mainland from Hartstene Island, where the community of Hartstene and its associated Cem are situated near the shores of Jarrell Cove. The map illustrates a transition between waterfront recreation and early infrastructure, featuring the Mason Lake Lookout and the Northern Pacific Road corridor.
