About this map

The Quilleute Indian Reservation anchors the coastal landscape where the Quillayute River meets the Pacific Ocean. This 1980s era survey highlights the small settlement of La Push, featuring vital local infrastructure including the US Coast Guard Station, a Po, and the Mora Lookout Tower. The village serves as a threshold between the inland river system and the sea, with a Boat Ramp providing access near Rialto Beach.

Offshore, the map documents the sea stacks and islands protected within the Washington Islands National Wildlife Refuge, such as James Island, Cake Rock, and the Quillayute Needles. The rugged coastline within Olympic National Park is marked by distinctive landmarks like Hole-in-the-Wall and the Chilean Memorial Monument, illustrating the maritime hazards and natural wonders of the Washington coast.
