About this map

Hood Canal and its dramatic curve at The Great Bend dominate this coastal survey of Mason County. Along the western shore, the settlement of Lilliwaup sits tucked into Lilliwaup Bay, where Lilliwaup Creek meets the saltwater after passing Lilliwaup Falls. This area is characterized by steep shorelines and named landmarks like Red Bluff, Cougar Spit, and Musqueti Pt, reflecting a landscape defined by its marine orientation.

Across the canal, the community of Dewatto occupies the northern edge of Dewatto Bay, serving as a gateway to an upland interior dotted with numerous small lakes and ponds. Notable interior features include The Peat Bog, Maggie Lake, and Pickers Pond. The drainage network is complex, with Rendsland Creek and the Tahuya River carving through the timbered terrain, while the isolated Little Dewatto and Lone Duck Pond hint at the rural, quiet character of the Olympic Peninsula periphery during the mid-1980s.
