About this map

Fort Flagler occupies the northern tip of Marrowstone Island at the mouth of Port Townsend, where the Marrowstone Point Lighthouse stands as a vital navigational marker for vessels entering Puget Sound. The island's narrow midsection near Nordland serves as a hub for the local community, anchored by the Nordland Post Office and the Mystery Bay State Park Marina. To the west, across Kilisut Harbor, Indian Island remains defined by its military significance and a sparse network of roads like Anderson Rd and East Rd.

The map reveals a coastal landscape shaped by its strategic maritime position, from the prominent Point Hudson Lighthouse at the northwestern corner to the varied terrain of Jorgenson Hill. Local history is visible in landmarks such as Sound View Cemetery and the family-named roads that wind toward Nodule Point and Liplip Point. This detailed record captures the early 21st-century layout of these Puget Sound islands, emphasizing the maritime and defense-related infrastructure that has long characterized the region.
