1956 Map of Sequim

About this map

Sequim serves as the central hub in this mid-century coastal landscape, where the agricultural flats of the Dungeness Valley meet the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The area's water management is evident through a complex system of flumes, ditches, and a siphon that redirect water from the Dungeness River across the valley to support the local farms. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the timbered slopes of Burnt Hill and Lookout Hill, while the shoreline is defined by the elongated reaches of Gibson Spit and Travis Spit, which nearly enclose Washington Harbor.
