About this map

Eldon serves as the focal point for this survey along the western shore of the Hood Canal, where the Olympic Peninsula meets the saltwater. The landscape is dominated by the steep ascent from sea level into the Olympic Mountains, with the Hamma Hamma River carving a significant drainage through the heart of the Olympic National Forest. This river system, joined by tributaries like Jefferson Cr and Waketickeh Cr, represents a critical corridor for both local ecology and forest management access via an extensive network of national forest development roads.

The shoreline is punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Cummings Point, Chinom Point, and Ayock Point, illustrating the rugged coastal geometry of the Great Peninsula. In the northern reaches, Webb Mtn and Lake Armstrong stand within a complex of forest tracts, while the North Hamma Hamma River Bridge provides a vital link for coastal transit. Further south, the map details smaller water bodies like Stetson Lake and the drainage of Jorsted Cr, documenting the modern intersection of timber lands and waterfront settlements.
