About this map

Sequim Prairie and the surrounding agricultural landscape are defined by a complex network of water management features, including a prominent Flume and Ditch system that supports the local topography. The town of Sequim serves as the inland hub, connected to the maritime activity of Sequim Bay by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail line. Along the shoreline, the map identifies specific coastal points such as Klapot Point and the distinctive Travis Spit, alongside the former location of Port Williams.

Family and community history are preserved through sites like Jamestown Cemetery and Sequim View Cemetery, while the northern reaches include recreation and conservation areas such as the Duck Club and Grays Marsh. The transition from the coastal flats to the elevations of Bell Hill and Happy Valley illustrates the varied terrain of Clallam County during the mid-1950s, highlighting the integration of rural ranching at Beck Ranch with emerging infrastructure.
