About this map

Hoodsport and Potlatch anchor this coastal landscape where the steep foothills of the Olympic Peninsula meet the waters of Hood Canal. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the shoreline toward Dow Mtn and Saddle Mtn, while substantial water bodies like Lake Cushman and the smaller Lake Kokanee dominate the western interior. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex relationship between modern residential development and the natural environment, with a dense network of local roads such as N Lake Cushman Rd and Finch Creek Rd serving shoreline communities.

The northern reaches transition into the protected lands of the Olympic National Forest, punctuated by wetlands like Mint Marsh and Lilliwaup Swamp. Waterways such as Finch Creek and the N Fork Skokomish River drain the highland peaks, flowing toward the sharp turn in the canal known as The Great Bend. This map provides a detailed view of Mason County's rural infrastructure, from the school on N School House Hill Rd to the various lakes including Lake Standstill and Nordby Lake.
