2011 Map of Duwamish Head

About this map

West Seattle and the western shoreline of King County dominate this coastal survey, where the urban grid meets the waters of Elliott Bay. The landscape is defined by its deep connection to the sound, evidenced by several maritime hubs including the Fauntleroy Ferry Landing and the Southworth Ferry Landing. Inland, residential developments like High Point, Arbor Heights, and Roxbury Heights follow the rising terrain away from the coast. To the west, the map reaches across the water to Bainbridge Island, noting the settlement of Creosote and the prominent Restoration Point. A unique cultural feature is Tillicum Village on Blake Island, situated south of Eagle Harbor. The inclusion of landmarks like the Alki Point Lighthouse and the Southwest Myrtle Street Reservoir Dam provides a look at the essential infrastructure supporting these Puget Sound communities during the early 21st century.
