1953 Map of Quilcene

About this map

Quilcene and the surrounding waterfront of the Olympic Peninsula appear here during a period of mid-century coastal activity. The map focuses on the deep waters of Dabob Bay and Quilcene Bay, separated by the prominent Bolton Peninsula. This marine-centric landscape is defined by its working waterfronts, featuring the Quilcene Boat Haven and the State Shellfish Laboratory at Whitney Point. The presence of Bees Mill and an abandoned RR trestle suggests the evolving timber and transit economy of Jefferson County.
