2017 Map of Ediz Hook

About this map

Ediz Hook, a prominent sand spit extending into the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, creates a natural sheltered anchorage for Port Angeles Harbor. This landform is dominated by the Port Angeles Coast Guard Air Station at its eastern tip, connected to the mainland by the long corridor of Ediz Hook Rd. To the south, the city of Port Angeles marks the shoreline, where a grid of streets including Marine Dr and W Hill St meet the industrial and maritime waterfront. The nautical importance of this location is underscored by the recurring routes of the Port Angeles Ferry crossing Puget Sound, while the international boundary with Canada is noted just offshore. Small features like The Lagoon provide contrast to the maritime infrastructure that defines this coastal Washington landscape.
