About this map

Pacific Ocean waters dominate this coastal survey, where the rugged coastline of Washington meets the sea at the edge of Olympic National Park. The map documents a narrow sliver of the shoreline near the border of Jefferson and Grays Harbor counties. The primary terrestrial feature is the corridor of Highway 101, which hugs the coast as it passes through the national park boundaries. Off the immediate shore, the Kalaloch Rocks emerge from the surf, marking a significant navigation point for this stretch of the Olympic Peninsula. The transition between the high-tide line and the protected parkland reflects the intersection of federal conservation and the enduring natural geography of the Pacific Northwest.
