In 1942, the U.S. Army leased 4,024 acres of Makah Indian Reservation land to establish Cape Flattery Military Reservation as a coastal defense installation to protect the entrance to Puget Sound. The Military Reservation consisted of many non-contiguous sites that were to house two 6-inch and two 16-inch coastal gun batteries, approximately 25 fire control stations, a central magazine, numerous radar sites and a combined HECP-HDCP. Roads were built and sites were cleared and graded but the project was terminated on 13 Oct 1943 before the batteries were built. Some support buildings and fire control stations were started, but very few were completed. The lease was terminated in 1945 and all the land, except a 10-acre site at Bahokus Peak, was transferred back to the Makah Tribe. | In 1942, the U.S. Army leased 4,024 acres of Makah Indian Reservation land to establish Cape Flattery Military Reservation as a coastal defense installation to protect the entrance to Puget Sound.
