Created in 1889 and depicting relief heights and nautical charts, this map of Puget Sound is a historical document of a region rich with history and culture. Named in 1792 after Huguenot Lieutenant Peter Puget, the Puget Sound refers to both the waters and surrounding land. This map followed the completion of the Northern Pacific railroad line in 1888 which connected the entire region to the eastern United States. Active trading and the rich waters provided ample opportunity for commercial fishing, and these made up the primary economic drivers. The diverse flora and fauna of the area have drawn recreational fisherman here for decades as well in hunt of steelhead trout and sockeye salmon. Digitally restored and enhanced to correct colors, alignment and with minor blemishes removed, this unique piece of nautical history is sure to interest any lover of American or nautical history. The map also details the many lighthouses of the region as well as the safe channels for vessels to navigate, tides and buoy locations.
