About this map

Mason Lake and the complex shoreline of Pickering Passage dominate this landscape, revealing the intricate water-centered layout of Mason County in the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of lakeside development, where dense residential road networks like Mason Lake Estates Rd and E Olympic Dr trace the water's edge. This settlement pattern contrasts with the more rural stretches near Benson Lake and Trask Lake, highlighting the area's transition toward recreational and seasonal living.

Further south, the geography shifts toward the inlet near Grant and Hartstene, where small communities and landmarks like Walkers Landing and Jarrell's Cove Marina serve as local hubs for maritime activity. Notable infrastructure, including the Mason Lake Lookout and Courner Dam, is meticulously charted alongside numerous creeks such as Sherwood Creek and Deer Creek, which link these upland lakes to the saltwater passages. This survey documents the precise balance of developed neighborhoods and preserved natural features in a region defined by its marine topography.
