2023 Map of Ozette

About this map

Ozette serves as the gateway to this coastal wilderness, where the Pacific Ocean meets the western edge of the Olympic Peninsula. This 2023 survey documents a landscape defined by its remote prairies and significant landmarks, including the westernmost point of the contiguous United States at Cape Alava. Historic land use is evident in the naming of several coastal openings such as Ahlstroms Prairie, Rooses Prairie, and Männys Prairie, which provide distinct breaks in the forest cover. The map details a rugged coastline marked by Point of Arches to the north and Sand Point to the south, with prominent features like Ozette Island and Tskawahyah Island lying just offshore. Inland, the vast expanse of Ozette Lake dominates the southeast, fed by Umbrella Creek and Palmquist Creek, with the settlement of North End situated along its northern shores.
