Light map style highlighting historic buildings
Purple churches; brown houses; grey forts; green military buildings. Blue dots are Public Road Ends; red dots are public bookcases. No labels for anything whatsoever. 305 gets too wide as you zoom out, and vanishes as you zoom right in. Road junctions are all messed up. There are parks sticking out into the water. And no piers, but paths where the piers are.

Raster tiles
Raster tiles of the Bainbridge Island map. These can take a while to load, as they're being generated on-the-fly from the underlying data, and not cached. It's a shit-show.
Fly around as we tell the story of a made-up island
You fly around the as you scroll down the right-hand column. This was vibe-coded with Claude in one take; you won't see the story at first on the right-hand-side. Start scrolling and it should appear. The text is utterly ridiculous and politically problematic.
Parks & Rec montage
All the Parks & Rec maps put together so you can zoom right in and see the details.
Selland and Morrill map of Madrone (Winslow) in 1900s
This map was made in 1976 by Ella Selland and Lillian Morrill (1891-1978). It appears on page 661 of the book "Kitsap County history - a story of Kitsap County and its pioneers" (Third edition, 2012). The book was originally published in 1977, and edited by Elnora Ruth Antrim Parfitt (1902-1986). the details. The "Bainbridge Island" map, above, shows the Selland and Morrill map overlayed on contemporary mapping.
Individual camping pitches at Fay Bainbridge Park and Campsite
Zoomed in far enough, you can see individual pitches at the campsite. The pitches are also visible in the Parks & Rec montage underneath.
Outline of the dismantled dock at Hawley Landing
The dock was dismantled soon after 1937, when ferry services on Bainbridge Island were centralized at Eagle Harbor. Remains of many of the pilings are still visible at low tide, and two or three of the pilings at the end of the structure are visible at higher tides. This is all within the boundary of the current Hawley Cove Park.
Lushotseed place names
These are shown all over the map, but there are a couple visible here, including one that appears on top of Bainbridge Island Lumber. The names and descriptions are... and from... it's complicated and needs a lot more work, and conversations with the Suquamish.
