About this map

Makah Indian Reservation anchors the northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula, where the Strait of Juan de Fuca meets the Pacific Ocean. This 1980s topographic-bathymetric study captures a landscape defined by coastal industry and federal land management, featuring the Makah National Salmon Hatchery and the Makah Air Force Station near Neah Bay. Farther south, the inland geography is dominated by the Soleduck Valley and the expansive waters of Ozette Lake, surrounded by the protected boundaries of Olympic National Park.

Settlement patterns follow the northern coastline through Sekiu and Clallam Bay, while the interior shows the logging and transport nodes of Sappho and Beaver. The map also details the international maritime border with Canada, showing the shoreline of Vancouver Island and provincial parks like China Beach Provincial Park. The transition from sea floor contours to peak elevations at Snider Pk provides a comprehensive view of the peninsula's extreme northwestern terrain.
