About this map

Fox Island sits at the heart of this coastal survey, separated from the Great Peninsula by the waters of Hale Passage and Carr Inlet. The landscape is defined by its intricate shoreline, where deep-water coves like Glen Cove and Horsehead Bay provide natural harbors for residential clusters and maritime activity. The network of modern roads, including Key Peninsula Hwy N and Creviston Drive KP N, connects established communities such as Wauna, Arletta, and Rosedale.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific sites of remembrance, such as Fox Island Cem and Rosedale Cem, while researchers of the area's development can trace the suburban expansion around Gig Harbor and Artondale. From the isolated Cutts Island to the gated connection of Raft Island, the map illustrates a transition from the wooded reaches of the Key Peninsula to the developed neighborhoods overlooking Henderson Bay.
