About this map

Port Angeles East and the settlement of Crane anchor the northern coastline of the Olympic Peninsula on this contemporary survey of Clallam County. The landscape transitions rapidly from the saltwater of Puget Sound at Green Point to the high elevations of the Olympic Mountains. A dense network of residential and logging roads, such as Old Olympic Hwy and Blue Mountain Rd, weaves through the drainage basins of Morse Creek and Siebert Creek.

South of the coastal developments, the land is dominated by protected areas, including the Olympic National Park and Olympic Wilderness. Local history is visible in the placement of the Blue Mountain Cem and family-named landmarks like Maletti Hill and Van Kuren Hill. This map illustrates the modern interface between rural Clallam County life and the massive wilderness preserves that define the region's interior.
