About this map

The Salish Sea coastline of the Olympic Peninsula defines this coastal study, where the waters meet the rugged shoreline at Low Point. The interior landscape is carved by numerous drainages, most notably the Lyre River, which flows north toward the strait alongside Murdock Creek and Susie Creek. These waterways provide a natural structure to the timbered terrain, influencing the placement of early settlements and rural infrastructure.

Small communities like Disque and Shadow serve as focal points for local history, connected by a network of rural roads such as Whiskey Creek Beach Rd and Seal Rock Rd. The map reveals a pattern of land use where forestry and coastal access intersect, evidenced by the numerous creek-named roads like Whiskey Creek and Nelson Creek that reach into the higher elevations of the T31N and T30N townships.
