2014 Map of Makah Bay

About this map

Cape Flattery defines the northernmost reach of this coastal survey, where the Strait of Juan de Fuca meets the Pacific Ocean. The geography is dominated by the Makah Reservation, centering on the settlement of Neah Bay and the smaller coastal clusters at Waatch and Archawat. The terrain transitions from the rocky shoreline and the Olympic Mountains to the lower wetlands and beaches along Makah Bay. Human industry and resource management are visible through the Makah National Salmon Hatchery and a Quarry near Bahokus Peak. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the wilder, protected landscape of Olympic National Park, including the remote Shi-Shi Beach. Road networks like Cape Loop Rd and Tsoo-Yess Beach Rd provide access to these isolated points, tracing the edge of the continent.
