1981 Map of Shelton

About this map

Shelton serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the Northern Burlington railroad tracks follow the shoreline of Oakland Bay. The industrial and civic development of the early 1980s is evident in the cluster of institutions including Shelton High School, Mountain View School, and the Shelton Memorial Park. The map captures the complex marine geography of southern Puget Sound, showing the winding passages of Hammersley Inlet and Little Skookum Inlet, which define the region's timber and maritime character.
