1949 Map of Shilshole Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Fort Lawton Military Reservation anchors the western edge of the Seattle shoreline, providing a clear view of the city's maritime and military infrastructure at mid-century. This survey highlights the critical passage of the Lake Washington Ship Canal and the Chittenden Locks, which connect the inland waters to Shilshole Bay. The residential development of neighborhoods like Ballard, Loyal Heights, and Magnolia Bluff is well-established, showing the post-war urban footprint alongside legacy institutions such as James Monroe Junior High Sch and Webster Sch.
