2011 Map of Slip Point

About this map

The Strait of Juan de Fuca dominates this coastal survey, where the deep waters of the shipping lane meet the northern edge of the Olympic Peninsula. The shoreline is defined by the sharp protrusion of Slip Point and the natural harbor protection offered by the Clallam Bay Spit. Where the Clallam River meets the tide, the landscape shifts from open water to the specialized coastal geomorphology of the Pacific Northwest. This map primarily captures the maritime environment and the immediate coastline as it appeared in 2011, providing a technical look at the intersection of the river mouth and the strait's expansive waterway.
