2014 Map of Longbranch

About this map

Harstine Island and the jagged southern tips of the Great Peninsula define this maritime landscape where the waters of Puget Sound meet Dana Passage and Henderson Inlet. The settlement of Longbranch serves as a focal point on the eastern peninsula, situated near the protected waters of Filucy Bay and Taylor Bay. Further west, across the Case Inlet, the community of Ballow and the narrow strip of McMicken Island mark the shoreline of Harstine Island. Local transportation is anchored by the Key Peninsula Hwy S and the small Howell Airport, reflecting a region deeply tied to its coastal geography. Notable points such as Fudge Point, Wilson Point, and Johnson Point delineate the complex network of coves and bights, including Whiteman Cove and Big Fishtrap, that have historically shaped the navigation and development of this shoreline.
