About this map

Colvos Passage dominates the geography of this mid-century survey, separating the mainland Kitsap Peninsula from the western shore of Vashon Island. Along the Kitsap shoreline, the settlements of Olalla, Fragaria, and Maplewood are established near the mouths of coastal drainage systems like Olalla Creek. The map documents a community-focused landscape, featuring local landmarks such as the Olalla Sch, the Olalla Community Club, and the Fragaria Cemetery.

A maritime and naval influence is evident with the U S Naval Reservation positioned near Anderson Point, while the southern reaches of the map show the development of Purdy and the Peninsula High Sch near Henderson Bay. The interior is characterized by numerous small water bodies including Long Lake, Mace Lake, and Crescent Lake, linked by a network of rural routes like Olalla Valley Road and View Park Road.
