2023 Map of Pysht

About this map

Pysht stands as the primary coastal settlement on this portion of the Olympic Peninsula, situated where the Pysht River meets the Salish Sea. The geography is defined by its industrial and natural heritage, notably featuring the Pysht Millpond near the river's south fork, a clear indicator of the region's historical timber and milling activity. To the north, Pillar Point and Tree Bluff mark the rugged coastline, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle transition into the protected timberlands of the Olympic National Forest. Numerous drainages, including Butler Creek, Jim Creek, and the complex systems of Deep Creek, West Fork Deep Creek, and East Fork Deep Creek, carve through the landscape. This modern survey provides a detailed look at the interface between the coastal waters of Butler Cove and the inland forest access provided by routes like Gibson Rd.
