1956 Map of Sequim

About this map

Sequim is the center of this mid-century coastal survey, situated between the foothills of Burnt Hill and the waters of Sequim Bay. The landscape reveals a complex network of agricultural and industrial infrastructure, including a long irrigation flume and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail line cutting across the valley. Along the shoreline of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the map identifies the Port Williams (Site) and recreational areas like Camp Tapawingo and the Duck Club. To the south, the terrain rises sharply towards Bell Hill and Happy Valley, while the eastern edge is defined by the Miller Peninsula. Local history is preserved through the locations of the Jamestown Cemetery and Sequim Valley Cemetery, alongside smaller settlements like Blyn and Grennan.
