About this map

The Hood Canal defines the southern portion of this landscape, where waterfront communities like Sunbeach, Sunset Beach, and Forest Beach anchor the shoreline of the Great Peninsula. In the northern interior, a dense network of glacial lakes including Lake Wooten, Haven Lake, and Bennettsen Lake dot the forested terrain. This modern survey illustrates the contemporary road infrastructure connecting these seasonal and year-round residential pockets, such as NE Belfair Tahuya Rd, which links the larger settlement of Belfair to the river valleys of the west.

The hydrological character of the region is shaped by the Tahuya River and Dewatto River, both of which cut through the uplands. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Dewatto Cem in the northwest and the unique geography of the Kellums Lake Isthmus to the southeast. The map reflects a landscape where early twentieth-century logging and recreation have transitioned into established communities surrounding interior freshwater lakes and the deep saltwater fjords of the canal.
