1953 Map of Uncas

About this map

Port Discovery provides a sheltered anchor at the northern edge of this Jefferson County landscape, where the settlements of Maynard and Uncas sit near the tidal mudflats. The interior is defined by the steep timberlands of the Olympic National Forest, punctuated by prominent heights like Big Skidder Hill and Little Skidder Hill. This mid-century survey captures a transition from coastal maritime activity to upland forest management, with a notable Pipe Line and the Olympic Highway serving as primary transit corridors. In the south, the Little Quilcene River winds through the terrain near Lords Lake, while the local education needs are marked by the Uncas Sch. The distribution of numerous benchmarks, such as BM 908 and BM 1227, reflects the detailed topographic work required to map this complex drainage system of Salmon Creek and Snow Creek.
