About this map

Squaxin Island and Harstine Island dominate this intricate maritime geography at the intersection of Mason Co and Thurston Co. The intricate network of waterways, including Hammersley Inlet, Totten Inlet, and Eld Inlet, defines a landscape where the saltwater of Puget Sound meets rugged shoreline points like Dofflemyer Point and Tuckapahwox Point. The settlement of Boston Harbor sits near Zangle Cove at the map's southern edge, while the community of Arcadia is positioned further north, overlooking the narrow Squaxin Passage.

Maritime industry and recreation are evident through features such as the Cannery at Cannery Point and the numerous small islands like Hope Island and Steamboat Island. Inland, the terrain is dotted with freshwater bodies such as Big Twin Lake, Little Twin Lake, and Forbes Lake. This modern survey documents the contemporary parceling of these shores, showing how residential roads have integrated into the historical coastal reaches.
