About this map

Angeles Point projects into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, marking a coastline where the Elwha River meets the tidal waters of Freshwater Bay. The landscape is defined by the Lower Elwha Indian Reservation, which encompasses the river delta and the settlement of Lower Elwha. Inland, the terrestrial geography shows a transition from coastal flats to higher ground, where the Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade trace the historical transportation corridor of the Olympic Peninsula.

Industrial and civil footprints are visible at Elwha Station and the Clallam County Airport on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local historians, the Ocean View Cem provides a specific point of interest near the shoreline. The map also includes the international maritime boundary between British Columbia and Washington, along with a designated Restricted Anchorage area within the strait.
