About this map

The coastal wilderness of the Olympic Peninsula is preserved here in the early 1980s, where the Pacific Ocean meets a series of dramatic headlands and river mouths. Much of the coastline is protected under the Olympic National Park and specialized wildlife zones like the Quillayute Needles National Wildlife Refuge. A notable historical footprint is found at the Oil City (Site) near the Hoh River, a remnant of early 20th-century petroleum speculation further evidenced by the Jefferson Oil Seep. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the complex forks of Goodman Creek and Mosquito Creek. Coastal features such as Hoh Head, Boulder Beach, and Caves near Jefferson Cove illustrate the maritime character of this shoreline, while scattered Gravel Pits indicate the practical resource extraction occurring just inland from the national park boundaries.
