About this map

Shelton serves as the focal point of this Mason County landscape, positioned where Shelton Creek and Goldsborough Creek meet the tidal waters of Oakland Bay. The map captures a complex shoreline of inlets and coves, including the narrow reach of Hammersley Inlet and the southern waters of Little Skookum Inlet. In the town center, the Mason County Courthouse and Shelton Memorial Park stand as significant local landmarks for historical researchers.

Beyond the primary settlement, the map details established communities such as Johns Prairie, Oakland, and Kamilche, alongside smaller points like Agate and Bayshore. The terrain is defined by a series of points and narrows, such as Munson Point and The Narrows, which dictate the local transport and maritime patterns. For genealogists, the Miller Cem near Agate provides a specific point of interest within this network of rural roads and coastal neighborhoods.
