About this map

The Strait of Juan de Fuca defines the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where the Olympic Peninsula meets the sea at Green Point. Moving inland, the terrain is shaped by the parallel drainages of Morse Creek, Bagley Creek, and Siebert Creek, which flow northward from the foothills of the Olympic Mountains toward Port Angeles Harbor. This 2011 survey reveals a mosaic of residential development and traditional land use, anchored by rural centers like Mount Pleasant and R Corner.

Resource extraction and community infrastructure are prominent, with the Morse Creek Quarry and Rains Cedar Park Quarry highlighting local industry. Several small-scale dams regulate the local hydrology, including the Port Angeles Dam and Winters Pond Dam. For the local historian, the map preserves specific named locations such as the Cameron Homestead, Hambly Ranch, and Little Oklahoma Ranch, alongside community gathering points like the Mount Pleasant Community Hall and Blue Mountain Community Hall.
