1953 Map of Port Gamble

About this map

The sawmill at Port Gamble anchors this mid-century survey of the northern Kitsap Peninsula, reflecting the industrial character of a community built around timber. Along the shores of Hood Canal and Puget Sound, the map reveals a maritime landscape where Point Julia and Teekalet Bluff overlook the water. The Port Madison Indian Reservation is prominently marked, encompassing the settlement of Little Boston. Inland, rural life is defined by small clusters like Striebels Corner and the community center at the Kingston Grange. Local landmarks including the Wolfe School and several cemeteries provide essential coordinates for genealogists. The road network, including Lincoln Road, connects the coastal towns of Kingston, Eglon, and Indianola, showing the area's development before the rapid expansion of modern suburbs.
