About this map

The Port Madison Indian Reservation and the northern reaches of Bainbridge Island dominate this mid-century coastal survey. Waterfront settlements like Suquamish and Indianola (Kitsap PO) reflect the area's deep maritime connections, while the Naval Reservation near Keyport indicates the strategic military presence in the Puget Sound. The map captures a landscape defined by its complex shoreline, from the narrow Agate Passage to the sheltered waters of Port Orchard and Murden Cove.

Social and civic life on the island is marked by landmarks such as the Commodore Bainbridge Sch, the Bainbridge Grange, and local gathering points like Grange Hall. Recreation and preservation are also evident at Fay-Bainbridge State Park and Sandy Hook Park. The detailed road network, including Sunrise Drive and Walker Rd, provides a clear view of the growing residential communities of Winslow, Island Center, and Rollingbay before modern suburban expansion.
