2011 Map of Hoodsport

About this map

The waters of the Hood Canal define the eastern edge of this landscape, where the settlement of Hoodsport serves as a gateway to the Olympic Peninsula's interior. This 2011 survey documents a complex system of hydroelectric and water management infrastructure, most notably Cushman Dam creating Lake Cushman and the Lower Cushman Dam forming Lake Kakanee. These reservoirs, along with Lake Standstill and Lake May, reflect the managed hydraulic character of the North Fork Skokomish River drainage. Along the shoreline, industry and conservation meet at the Hoodsport Hatchery and Hood Canal Salmon Hatchery. Residential development is concentrated along the coastal corridor and the winding route of N Lake Cushman Rd, while the higher elevations are marked by landmarks like the Dow Mountain Lookout and the crest of Saddle Mountain. The map also captures local civic identifiers like Hoodsport School Hill Rd and the Hoodsport Post Office, essential for tracing modern community growth.
