2011 Map of Neah Bay

About this map

Neah Bay serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape on the Olympic Peninsula, where the Makah Bureau of Indian Affairs Agency and the Makah Marina anchor the local maritime economy. The map illustrates the shoreline where the Strait of Juan de Fuca meets rugged headlands like Baada Point and Klachopis Point. Inland, the terrain is defined by the Makah Peaks and Sooes Peak, with drainage networks including the Waatch River and the Sooes River flowing toward the coast. A network of forestry and access roads, such as 500 Line Rd and the Makah Indian Res Rd, crisscrosses the timbered interior. Remote homesteading and land use are evidenced by the Washburn Ranch located near Grimes Creek in the southwestern quadrant, providing a detailed look at the interface between traditional tribal lands and the natural geography of Washington's northwestern tip.
