About this map

Discovery Bay carves a deep inlet between the Miller Peninsula and the Quimper Peninsula in this coastal region where Clallam Co and Jefferson Co meet. The settlement of Gardiner sits along the southern shore of the bay, while the community of Blyn is situated further southwest near the head of the water. The landscape is defined by its maritime geography, including prominent coastal features such as Diamond Point, Thompson Spit, and Rocky Point.

Upland from the shoreline, a network of rural roads like Chicken Coop RD and Blyn Springs RD provides access to the interior hills and small water bodies such as Cat Lake. The maritime and aviation character of the area is emphasized by the presence of the Diamond Point Airstrip near the tip of its namesake point, and Olympic Field to the south. This survey captures the residential and recreational development of the Olympic Peninsula's northeastern fringe, showing the transition from the Strait of Juan de Fuca into the sheltered reaches of Puget Sound.
