1952 Map of Potlatch

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Skokomish Indian Reservation anchors the southern landscape of this 1952 study, where the Skokomish River meets the tidal flats of Annas Bay at The Great Bend. This junction of fresh and salt water defines the regional geography, with the Hood Canal curving sharply eastward past Potlatch and the town of Union. The map illustrates a rural economy transitioning from timber to recreation, shown by the extensive Olympic National Forest boundaries and the presence of Lake Cushman. Social centers of the era are visible through several localized institutions, including the Skokomish Valley Sch, the Indian Sch, and the Tahuya School. Along the western shoreline, Hoodsport serves as a gateway to the steep terrain of Cushman Hill and Dow Mtn, while the Pacific Northern rail line tracks across the lower terrain.
