1943 Map of Potlatch

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Skokomish Indian Reservation and its surrounding coastal settlements dominate this 1943 survey, showing the complex shoreline of the Great Bend of Hood Canal. This wartime era topography, prepared by the 29th Engineers using 1937 aerial photography, details the intersection of early automotive travel along U.S. Route 101 with the established maritime and timber-focused communities of Potlatch, Hoodsport, and Lilliwaup. To the west, the massive Lake Cushman Reservoir stands as a significant landmark of hydroelectric development, bordering the eastern edge of Olympic National Park. The map captures a transitional landscape where the Skokomish River delta at Annas Bay remains a focal point for settlement, while the hinterlands are dotted with numerous small lakes like Tahuya Lake and Cranberry Lake.
