2020 Map of Hoh Head

About this map

Olympic National Park defines this coastal stretch of Jefferson County, where the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest meet the Pacific Ocean. This survey documents a landscape primarily shaped by its waterways and maritime geology, featuring the prominent Hoh Head landform and the rocky shores of Boulder Beach. Near the southern boundary, the small settlement of Oil City sits near the mouth of the Hoh River, a namesake tied to the region's early 20th-century petroleum exploration history, further evidenced by the Jefferson Oil Seep located near Jefferson Cove. The inland terrain is a complex network of drainage systems, including Goodman Creek and Mosquito Cr, which are navigated by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail as it winds along the coastline. This 2020 map provides a precise look at the wilderness boundaries and natural landmarks of the Olympic Peninsula.
