1940 Map of Port Gamble

About this map

Port Gamble stands as a primary maritime hub on this 1940 tactical survey, positioned at the mouth of Port Gamble Bay where it meets the Hood Canal. This era of the Kitsap Peninsula is defined by a dense network of waterborne transit, with numerous vessel routes including the Port Gamble-Shine Auto Ferry and the Kingston-Edmonds Ferry connecting isolated coastal settlements. The landscape transitions from the developed mill town at Port Gamble to the more rural interior, where Beaver Valley Sch and small communities like Eglon and Lofall are linked by early motor roads.
