Puget Sound Pulp & Timber Company Holdings
This map is probably from the 1930s and depicts the growing holdings of the company. In April 1929, Puget Sound Pulp & Timber Company formed from various existing pulp and timber companies in the Puget Sound area. By the 1940s, this conglomeration was the owner of the United States' largest unbleached sulphite pulp mill at Bellingham, Washington, and became the first United States pulp mill to manufacture alcohol from wood-pulp wastes during World War II. On July 2, 1963, Puget Sound Pulp & Timber was merged into the Georgia-Pacific Corporation. Georgia-Pacific continued to operate the pulp mill in Bellingham until its closing in May 2001.
