1935 Map of Ozette Lake

About this map

Ozette Lake dominates this coastal landscape, situated just inland from the Pacific shoreline where an Abandoned Indian Village sits within the Ozette Indian Reservation. The mapping, based on 1930s surveys by the Corps of Engineers, details a transition from rugged coastal points like Cape Alava to a dense network of homesteads and prairie clearings. Small-scale industry and early settlement efforts are evidenced by the Abandoned Logging Camp near the South End of the lake and the Starbuck Mine to the south. Genealogists can find numerous family-named landmarks including Pete Rooses Ranch, Ahlstroms Prairie, and the Lone Wolf Cabin. A poignant historical marker, the Swedish Memorial Jan 1903, stands near the mouth of Cedar Creek, while an Old Cemetery is noted on the western shore of Allens Bay.
