About this map

The settlement of Eldon serves as the primary coastal anchor along the western shore of the Hood Canal, where the Hamma Hamma River meets the saltwater. This coastal landscape is defined by its transition from the steep, timbered ridges of the Olympic National Forest to the marine environment of the Great Peninsula. Interior landmarks like Webb Mtn and West Rock rise sharply from the drainage basins of Jefferson Cr and Waketicheh Cr, while the shoreline is punctuated by geographic markers such as Ayock Point, Cummings Point, and Chinom Point.

Modern infrastructure, including the North Hamma Hamma River Bridge, facilitates movement across the river's mouth, connecting local forest roads like N Hamma Ridge Dr and N Jorstad Creek Rd. The geography reveals a dual character of industrial forestry and waterfront residence, with numerous National Forest Development Roads winding through the mountains toward high-altitude water bodies like Stetson Lake and Lake Armstrong.
