1949 Map of Poverty Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Puget Sound and the high bluffs overlooking Poverty Bay define this mid-century landscape along the King and Pierce County line. Just before the post-war suburban boom transformed the region, the area remains a collection of distinct small communities and rural tracts. The Pacific Highway and Military Road serve as the primary north-south arteries, connecting coastal settlements like Woodmont Beach and Redondo to inland hubs like Algona and Milton.
