1973 Map of Oak Harbor
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Ault Field dominates the northern landscape of this Whidbey Island study, illustrating the significant military footprint in the early 1970s. The bustling settlement of Oak Harbor is shown with its grid of avenues, including 700 Ave East and E Pioneer Way, alongside local institutions like Oak Harbor High School and Olympic View School. The surrounding rural landscape is a mix of agricultural valley land and coastal features, from the heights of Monkey Hill to the wetlands of Waterloo Marsh. Historical land use is visible in the numerous borrow pits and gravel pits scattered near the runways. Smaller communities and family-named landmarks like Swantown and Hastie Lake provide points of interest for genealogists tracing the development of Island County during this era of growth.
