2017 Map of Pysht

About this map

The coastal settlement of Pysht sits at the junction of the Pysht River and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, characterizing a landscape defined by the intersection of the maritime economy and the timber-rich hills of the Olympic Peninsula. The shoreline is punctuated by prominent navigational landmarks like Pillar Point and Tree Bluff, while the inland terrain climbs into the northern reaches of the Olympic National Forest. Historical industry is evidenced by the Pysht Millpond located south of the main townsite, where the S Fork Pysht River and several tributaries such as Butler Cr and Indian Cr drain the steep, forested slopes. This 2017 survey reflects the modern road network, including Pysht River Rd and Gibson Rd, which provide access to the various forks of Deep Cr in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.
