About this map

Olympic National Park covers much of this coastal landscape, where the Pacific Ocean meets the western edge of Ozette Lake. The coastline is defined by distinctive landforms like Yellow Banks and Kayostla Beach, with several family-named points including Birkestol Point and Shafers Point. Inland, the map documents the Starbuck Mine (Site) near Cedar Creek, suggesting small-scale extraction efforts within the heavily timbered terrain.

Coastal history is marked by the Norwegian Memorial situated along the shore south of Allens Bay. Offshore, the region is protected by the Washington Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Quillayute Needles National Wildlife Refuge, encompassing numerous sea stacks and islands such as Hand Rock and Tivoli Island. The map illustrates the 1980s infrastructure of the area, featuring the Ericsons Bay Campground and a network of unimproved roads and trails serving this wilderness interface.
