1953 Map of Port Townsend North
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Maritime traffic and military coastal defense define this 1950s study of the entrance to Puget Sound. On the Quimper Peninsula, the Fort Worden Military Res and a Coast Guard Reservation guard the strategic approach at Point Wilson. These fortifications, paired with Fort Casey Military Res across the water on Whidbey Island, reflect a long history of maritime security at the junction of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Admiralty Inlet.
