2017 Map of La Push

About this map

La Push stands at the convergence of the Quillayute River and the Pacific Ocean, serving as a focal point for this coastal landscape where river mouth dynamics meet the open sea. This 2017 study illustrates the intricate interface between land and water, highlighting the numerous sea stacks and rocky outcrops that define the coastline, such as James Island and the distant Cake Rock. The geography is shaped by the presence of Olympic National Park and the Quillayute Needles National Wildlife Refuge, which preserve the varied shoreline features from the driftwood-strewn Rialto Beach to the geological curiosity of Hole-in-the-Wall. Modern infrastructure like Main St and Ocean Front Dr provides local access, while the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the coastal forests and beaches, linking landmarks like Cape Johnson and First Beach.
