About this map

The complex shoreline of the Great Peninsula and Harstine Island dominates this 2017 survey, where the waters of Puget Sound branch into a network of inlets and bays. Settlement is concentrated in the community of Longbranch and at Ballow on the eastern shore of Harstine Island. The geography is defined by deep maritime reaches including Case Inlet, Henderson Inlet, and the Dana Passage, which separate the islands and peninsulas of the southern Sound.

Inland, the landscape is dotted with small water bodies like Palmer Lake and Bay Lake, while coastal features such as Devils Head Peninsula and Johnson Point mark critical navigation points for the region. Public and recreational spaces are evident at Joemma Beach, and the local aviation infrastructure is represented by Howell Airport. This map captures the modern layout of residential roads and protected coves, including Filucy Bay and Whiteman Cove, which have long defined the character of these South Sound communities.
