About this map

Olympic National Park encompasses the majority of this coastal landscape, where the Olympic Peninsula meets the Pacific Ocean. This interface is defined by a series of rocky outcrops and islands, including Hand Rock and Two Man Rock, which are protected within the Flattery Rocks National Wildlife Refuge and the Quillayute Needles National Wildlife Refuge. Inland, the massive Ozette Lake dominates the eastern portion of the sheet, featuring named points like Shafers Point and the sheltered Ericsons Bay.

Tracing the coastline reveals a primitive transport network, primarily the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which winds past Yellow Banks and Kayostia Beach. Human history is subtly marked by the Old Cem near Cemetery Point, overlooking Allens Bay. This map highlights a transition from the dense interior woodlands of the Olympic Mountains to the tidal complexity of the shore, where Allens Slough and Cedar Cr drain toward the sea.
