About this map

The Toandos Peninsula and the deep waters of Dabop Bay dominate this pre-war survey of the central Hood Canal region. The landscape is defined by the transition from the rugged eastern edge of the Olympic National Forest to the small timber and maritime settlements along the shoreline. Evidence of the era's local industry is visible at the Lewis Lumber Co near Crosby, while the US Fish Hatchery Duckabush Station reflects early conservation efforts on the Duckabush River.

Maritime connectivity is highlighted by the Brinnon Seabeck Ferry route, which linked the disparate communities of Brinnon and Seabeck across the canal. Along the eastern shore, the Seabeck Conference Grounds and various schools like Lone Rock Sch and Seabeck Sch mark established social centers. Further south, inland development appears at Camp Union and the Barney White Ranch, surrounded by numerous small lakes such as Mission Lake and Tiger Lake.
