About this map

Hood Canal divides the Kitsap and Toandos Peninsulas in this mid-century look at the Olympic Gateway. The Lofall Ferry provides a vital transportation link across the water, connecting the small settlement of Lofall on the eastern shore with the winding roads leading toward the interior. The landscape is dotted with evidence of early 20th-century community life, including the Standard Sch near Shine and the Grange Hall in Breidablick.

To the south, the community of Vinland is anchored by the Vinland Church, while the nearby Naval Reservation suggests the growing strategic importance of the region's deep-water access. Coastal landmarks like Sisters Light and Termination Point guide maritime traffic through Squamish Harbor, where Case Shoal and Mud Lake define the shifting shoreline. Inland, the terrain is shaped by the Willamette Meridian and several upland water bodies including Thorndyke Lake and Pheasant Lake.
