2011 Map of Bodelteh Islands

About this map

Bodelteh Islands and the neighboring sea stacks of the Flattery Rocks chain form a rugged maritime environment along the Washington coast. This 2011 survey illustrates the isolated rock formations and navigational hazards that define this stretch of the Pacific Ocean, where land is represented only by these scattered island outcroppings. The map centers on the treacherous Umatilla Reef, a site long known to mariners, and Ozette Island to the south. These features are part of a protected coastal ecosystem where the lack of mainland development or roads emphasizes the area's role as a natural sanctuary. For those studying the geography of the Olympic Peninsula's westernmost fringes, this map provides precise placement of these offshore landmarks in relation to the nautical grid.
