1936 Map of Point Misery

About this map

The Hood Canal and Dabop Bay dominate this landscape, where the rugged mountains of the Olympic National Forest meet the deep inlets of the Kitsap and Toandos peninsulas. In the mid-1930s, the maritime character of the region was defined by the Brinnon Seabeck Ferry route, connecting the timber-heavy western shores to the growing communities on the Kitsap side. At Seabeck, the Seabeck Conference Grounds and Seabeck Sch mark a settlement with deep industrial roots, while further south, the Lewis Lumber Co near Crosby points to the area's active logging economy.
