About this map

Neah Bay serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated within the Makah Indian Reservation at the northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula. The shoreline of the Strait of Juan de Fuca is marked by distinctive geological formations like Seal Rock and Sail Rock, while the town itself contains essential facilities including the Neah Bay Coast Guard Station, a Makah BIA Agency, and a Substation.

Evidence of historical transportation and industry is visible in the abandoned Old RR Gr and Old RR grades that traverse the interior. These routes wind through the high terrain of Waatch Peak and Cheeka Peak, crossing numerous waterways such as the Waatch River, Sail River, and Snow Creek. The geography reveals a transition from maritime operations along Baada Point to inland resource extraction, evidenced by various Gravel Pit locations and the remote Gaging Station on the Sooes River.
