About this map

Sequim Prairie defines the central landscape of this coastal survey, where the town of Sequim serves as the primary hub of activity. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural lowlands of the prairie toward the dense elevations of the Burnt Hills and Lookout Hill to the south. Along the shoreline of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the geography is marked by complex coastal features like Travis Spit, Klapot Point, and The Lagoon, illustrating the region's relationship with the sea.

Further east, Sequim Bay is bordered by the Miller Peninsula and the established Sequim Bay State Park. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of the Jamestown Cemetery and Sequim View Cemetery, alongside rural landmarks such as Beck Ranch and the small settlement of Blyn. The presence of the Port Williams (Site) near Washington Harbor underscores the maritime history and changing settlement patterns of Clallam County.
