About this map

Cape Flattery marks the northwesternmost point of the contiguous United States, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This coastal landscape is defined by its sea stacks and rocky shoreline, featuring geological landmarks such as Fuca Pillar, Look-Through Rock, and Duncan Rock. The map illustrates the maritime boundary between the United States and Canada and covers the protected lands of Olympic National Park and the Flattery Rocks National Wildlife Refuge.

Human activity is concentrated along the northern coast near the settlement of Midway and the western edge of Neah Bay. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like Cape Loop Rd and Koitlah Point Rd, which provide access to cultural and natural sites including Warmhouse Beach and Sah-da-ped-thl Beach. The inland terrain rises into the foothills of the Olympic Mountains, drained by the Tsoo-yess River and Classet Cr.
