1953 Map of Olalla

About this map

Colvos Passage serves as the central geographic feature of this mid-century coastal survey, separating the mainland Kitsap Peninsula from the western shores of Vashon Island. The maritime character of the region is evident in the concentration of settlements along the waterfront, including the community of Olalla situated at the mouth of Olalla Creek where it meets Olalla Bay. Local social life and infrastructure are anchored by features such as the Olalla Sch, the Fraola Cemetery, and the Community Club near the bay.
