Charles B. Gifford was an itinerant cartographer who drew "birds-eye" perspective maps for various cities around the country. Louis Nagel was frequently the printer of his work. The first settlers appeared on Camano Island in 1855, making claims on the island's vast timber. In 1858, Thomas Cranney and Lawrence Grennan, pioneers of Whidbey Island, built a large sawmill at Utsalady, at the northern end of the island. The same area was the site of a shipyard. After Grennan died in 1869, Cranney continued to operate the mill. In 1876, he sold it to Pope and Talbot's Puget Mill Company. In the Panic of 1893, the company moved its machinery to its other mills. The island had virtually no towns in the latter part of the nineteenth century (McClary, "Island County-Thumbnail History.")
