1953 Map of Wildcat Lake

About this map

Wildcat Lake and the surrounding timbered uplands of the Gold Mountain range define this West Puget Sound landscape in the early 1950s. The map illustrates a network of small settlements and rural outposts, including Hite Center, Crosby, and Camp Union, which served as local hubs for the area's residents. Economic activity is visible through a handful of industrial markers like the Quarry and Gravel Pit, while the presence of the Leisureland Air Park and a Boy Scout Camp near Tahuya Lake highlights the region's developing role in recreation.
