Description: This is a very uncommon colored U.S. Coast Survey maritime map dated 1867. From the New Dungeness Lighthouse to Olympia, Steilacoom, and the area of what would become Tacoma. Seattle isn't on the map but was existent in its usual geographical location during this time period. Interestingly, Seattle was incorporated as a town January 14, 1865 but that charter was voided January 18, 1867, in response to questionable activities of the town's elected leaders. Until the city was re-incorprated on Dec 2, 1869. This was published during Seattle's period of unincorporation. This map shows the area of Seattle long before the massive fill projects of the 1890s-1930s, which transformed the city. What is labeled on the map as Duwamish Bay was largely filled in and built upon, and what was not filled in is now known as Elliot Bay. With sounds, lighthouses, tidal information and ocean floor data.
