About this map

The complex shoreline of Carr Inlet and Hale Passage defines this portion of the Puget Sound, where tidal inlets and sand spits shape the local geography. In the late 20th century, the landscape is a mix of small coastal settlements like Rosedale and Arletta alongside specialized facilities such as the Naval Surface Warfare Center Fox Island Acoustic Laboratory on the northern tip of Fox Island.

Community life is anchored by gathering places and recreational sites, including the Rosedale Community Center, Camp Seymour, and Camp Colman. Education and conservation are central to the area, evidenced by several schools like Minter Creek Sch and the Minter Creek Fish Hatchery located at the mouth of Minter Creek. Local history and family genealogy can be traced through the Fox Island Cemetery and family-named landmarks like Allen Point and Thompson Spit.
