About this map

Clallam Bay and Sekiu anchor the southern shoreline of the Salish Sea in this topographic study of Washington's Olympic Peninsula coast. The landscape is defined by its maritime geography, with a series of prominent headlands including Kydaka Point, Eagle Point, Sekiu Point, and Middle Point reaching into the water. To the east, Slip Point marks the protective edge of the bay itself, sheltering the local settlements.

Inland, the drainage patterns of the Hoko River and Little Hoko River suggest a heavily forested environment, where small waterways like Lamb Creek and Falls Creek cut through the rising terrain. Transportation is concentrated along the coast, primarily via the Hoko Ozette Rd and the small Sekiu Airport, reflecting the area's ongoing connection to both land and sea. This 2023 survey provides a clear view of the coastal interface before the peninsula's interior wilderness begins.
