About this map

Cape Flattery and the surrounding coastal headlands of Clallam County define this 2017 survey, where the northwesternmost point of the contiguous United States meets the Pacific Ocean. This landscape is shaped by the complex hydrology of the Waatch River and Tsoo-Yess River, which meander through coastal lowlands before reaching Makah Bay. The area serves as a critical junction for conservation and resource management, anchored by the Makah National Fish Hatchery and expansive protected lands within Olympic National Park and the Flattery Rocks National Wildlife Refuge.

Northeast of the rugged coastline, the settlement at Neah Bay acts as a primary hub, connected to the interior by routes like Cape Flattery Rd and Bahokas Peak Rd. High points such as Bahokus Peak and Cheeka Peak offer significant vertical relief against the sandy stretches of Hobuck Beach and Shi-Shi Beach. Local drainage systems, including Holden Cr and Village Cr, highlight the intricate network of small waterways that feed into the larger river basins.
