About this map

Strait of Juan de Fuca waters define the northern reaches of this coastal survey, where the international boundary between Washington and Canada runs through the open sea. Along the shoreline, the community of Port Crescent and the more inland settlement of Joyce anchor the local road network, which includes Wa-112 and Agate Beach Rd. The landscape rises sharply from the coast toward Striped Peak, a prominent elevation topped by the Striped Peak Lookout Tower.

Public land and recreation are centered around the Salt Creek Campground at Tongue Point, providing access to the rugged beach environments of Crescent Bay and Agate Bay. Further east, Freshwater Bay serves as a transition toward the settlement of Coville. The map documents a blend of forest management and coastal access, evidenced by the Olympic National Forest Rd and the Freshwater Bay Boat Launch Ramp, which connect the upland timber regions to the maritime economy of the Olympic Peninsula.
