About this map

Shelton sits at the head of Oakland Bay, where the intricate waterways of South Puget Sound meet the forested hills of the Olympic Peninsula. This 2017 survey shows the city's grid-based expansion from the waterfront toward Shelton Springs, while the surrounding landscape is defined by its maritime connections. The map details the complex shoreline of Hammersley Inlet and Little Skookum Inlet, punctuated by numerous named points such as Munson Point and Kamilche Point.

Smaller settlements and rural areas like Oakland, Johns Prairie, and Agate remain distinct, connected by a network of local roads including E Agate Rd and E State Rte 3. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Miller Cem and the small harbor community of Bayshore. The map provides a clear picture of the region's hydrography, tracing Goldsborough Cr and Skookum Cr as they feed into the sound's tidal basins.
