About this map

The Olympic Mountains and the sprawling waterways of the Puget Sound dominate this 1962 regional study. The map illustrates the Post-War expansion of the Pacific Northwest, with concentrated urban development in Seattle, Tacoma, and Bremerton contrasted against the protected wilderness of Olympic National Park. The industrial and transportation landscape is defined by a dense network of railroads including the Milwaukee Road, Northern Pacific RR, and Great Northern RR, which served the region's sawmills and gravel pits.
