About this map

The Strait of Juan de Fuca meets the northern coast of the Olympic Peninsula at Green Point in this 2017 survey of Clallam County. The landscape is defined by the northward flow of Morse Creek and Siebert Cr, draining the northern heights of Olympic National Park and the Olympic National Forest. The transition from the rugged slopes of Round Mtn and Lookout Rock to the coastal lowlands illustrates the local topography of the region east of Port Angeles East.

Residential growth is evident along the Old Olympic Hwy and within small communities like Crane and Little Oklahoma. Numerous named peaks such as King Hill, Maletti Hill, and Van Kuren Hill punctuate the drainage basins. Rural life is traced through a dense network of private lanes and forest roads like School House Ln and John Jacobs Rd, reflecting the area's ongoing mix of conservation land and timber-country habitation.
