2017 Map of Poulsbo

About this map

Bangor Base and the surrounding coastal communities of the Great Peninsula are detailed in this 2017 survey, showing the modern interface between military installations and residential growth. The map centers on the corridor between Poulsbo and Silverdale, where the hydrology of the Puget Sound—including Dyes Inlet, Liberty Bay, and Hood Canal—dictates the layout of the landscape. Settlement patterns are dense around Scandia, Lemolo, and Pearson, while the interior remains marked by features like Island Lake and the drainage of Clear Cr. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites recorded, including the Silverdale Pioneer Cem and First Lutheran Church Cem. The map also captures specialized infrastructure such as the Apex Airpark and the intricate road network serving the naval base at Bangor, illustrating how the region's defense-driven economy and maritime geography have shaped Kitsap County.
