About this map

Mason Lake and its surrounding glacial terrain dominate this portion of the Kitsap Peninsula, reflecting a landscape shaped by water and timber. The settlement of Little Hoquiam sits at the lake's southern end, while the eastern portion of the map transitions to the saltwater environment of Pickering Passage. This coastal reach includes the northern portion of Harstine Island, where the Harstine Island Cem and the community of Hartstene are established near the sheltered waters of Jarrell Cove.

The map reveals a network of smaller water bodies like Spencer Lake, Phillips Lake, and Benson Lake, connected by drainages such as Sherwood Creek and Schumacher Creek. These features underscore the region's reliance on both inland freshwater resources and the maritime access provided by the Hood Canal at the northwestern corner. Points of interest like Sun Point and Graham Point mark the winding coastline near the settlement of Grant, illustrating the complex shoreline that has long defined local navigation and property boundaries.
