2011 Map of Joyce

About this map

Port Crescent and the neighboring community of Joyce anchor this coastal survey along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Olympic National Forest Rd and the jagged shoreline of the Olympic Peninsula. Marine navigation and recreation are central to the area's identity, evidenced by landmarks like Tongue Point, Crescent Bay, and the Freshwater Bay Boat Launch Ramp. Inland, the terrain rises sharply toward Striped Peak, where the Striped Peak Lookout Tower provides a vantage point over the saltwater. Local infrastructure is sparse but specific, with the Joyce Post Office serving the small settlement and the Salt Creek Campground offering public access to the Salt Creek drainage. The international boundary between Canada and the United States is clearly marked across the northern waters.
