Duckabush Estuary Historic Change

The orthophotos below show the estuary where the Duckabush River flows into the Hood Canal. A description of the Duckabush Watershed can be found at the NWR-NOAA site. The left side of the orthophoto was taken in 1939 (courtesy of the Puget Sound River History Project, University of Washington; more orthophotos can be downloaded here). The right side was taken in 2000 (courtesy of WA State Department of Natural Resources). Click and drag the black bar on the left side to slide between images.
