About this map

The Carr Inlet and Hale Passage define the complex shoreline of this maritime landscape, where the Key Peninsula and Fox Island meet the waters of the Puget Sound. The map reveals a dense network of waterfront communities and recreational sites, such as Camp Seymour on Glen Cove and Camp Colman near Arletta. The presence of the Island Bridge connecting the mainland to Fox Island signifies the modern accessibility of these once-remote coastal reaches.

Upland from the sound, the terrain rises toward Ford Hill and is etched by small drainages like Artondale Cr. While residential growth is evident in settlements like Artondale and Rosedale, the inclusion of the Fox Island Cem and established locales like Longbranch and Home provides essential points of reference for those tracing local family roots and land use patterns. Numerous points and splits, including Thompson Split and Penrose Point, further illustrate the intricate geography of these glacial-carved inlets.
