2011 Map of Ediz Hook

About this map

Ediz Hook, a long sand spit extending into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, forms the natural sheltering breakwater for Port Angeles Harbor. This 2011 survey illustrates the maritime and military significance of the landform, which supports the Port Angeles Coast Guard Air Station at its terminus. On the mainland, the street grid of Port Angeles is clearly defined, showing the city's relationship with the waterfront through features like the Port Angeles Boat Haven. The map captures the international boundary between Canada and the United States just offshore, alongside a ferry route marked as Port Angeles-Victoria. The presence of The Lagoon at the base of the hook suggests the dynamic coastal processes that shaped this northern Olympic Peninsula shoreline.
