1953 Map of Suquamish

About this map

The Madison Indian Reservation and the northern reaches of Bainbridge Island dominate this mid-century survey of the Puget Sound's western shores. Centered on Suquamish, the landscape is defined by the complex waterways of Agate Passage, Liberty Bay, and Port Orchard. The map illustrates a transitional period for the Kitsap Peninsula, showing the Agate Pass Bridge connecting the mainland to the island's growing communities like Port Madison and Winslow. Extensive Naval Reservation lands at Keyport and Battle Point highlight the era's significant military footprint alongside established local institutions such as the Bainbridge Grange and Commodore Bainbridge Sch. Coastal settlements such as Indianola, Seabold, and Rollingbay are depicted with their original street grids, while the interior is marked by numerous Gravel Pits and timbered terrain typical of the region's resource-based economy before suburban expansion intensified.
