1982 Map of Hoh Head

About this map

Hoh Head and the adjacent Pacific Ocean coastline dominate this early 1980s topographical record of western Jefferson County. The map documents a rugged landscape where the Olympic National Park boundary meets the shoreline, preserved within the Pacific Ocean Wilderness. An interpretive highlight is the presence of the Oil City (Site) and a nearby Oil Seep, hinting at early industrial aspirations that gave way to conservation. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, including Goodman Creek and Mosquito Creek, which flow toward a rocky coast featuring Boulder Beach, Diamond Rock, and numerous caves. This survey also delineates the northern edge of the Hoh Indian Reservation and the Washington Islands National Wildlife Refuge, capturing the intersection of indigenous land, federal preservation, and coastal geology.
