About this map

Squaxin Island and Harstine Island dominate the maritime geography of this South Puget Sound region, where narrow passages and deep inlets create a complex coastline. On the mainland, small residential communities such as Boston Harbor and Carlyon Beach sit atop points overlooking the sound. The navigation of these waters is facilitated by essential maritime markers, including the Dofflemyer Point Lighthouse at the entrance to Budd Inlet and the Libby Point Light near Hammersley Inlet.

Further inland, the landscape features freshwater bodies like Phillips Lake and the residential development of Timberlakes, which is defined by the Timberlakes Dam and Littletwin Lakes Dam. The map details the intricate network of coves and harbors, such as Zangle Cove and Sanderson Harbor, which have long supported the local maritime economy and oyster industry. This survey provides a precise look at the suburban expansion along Totten Inlet and Eld Inlet as they appeared in the early 21st century.
