1953 Map of Maxwelton

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Whidbey Island's southern tip is defined by a complex shoreline of points and bays, as shown in this early 1950s survey. The landscape transitions from the marshy depths of Deer Lagoon, protected by a Levee and Tide Gate, to the residential clustering at Sunlight Beach along the northern curve of Useless Bay. Local commerce and community centers appear at Maxwelton and Midvale Corner, while the island's eastern flank is marked by the small settlement of Possession overlooking the shipping lanes. The interior terrain is dotted with small bodies of water like Miller Lake and Deer Lake, interspersed with resource sites such as a Gravel Pit. The map also captures the maritime connectivity of the era, noting the Vancouver - Seattle Ferry route crossing through Puget Sound.
