About this map

Squaxin Island and the intricate channels of southern Puget Sound define this landscape where Mason and Thurston counties meet. The map reveals a complex maritime geography, showing the Squaxin Island Indian Reservation and various state parks scattered across the forested peninsulas and islands. The settlement of Arcadia sits at the junction of Hammersley Inlet and Pickering Passage, while Boston Harbor anchors the southern edge near Budd Inlet.

Evidence of local infrastructure and community life is found at the Boston Harbor Sch, a local Cem, and a Firestation. The coastal terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks like Dofflemyer Point, Cooper Point, and Hunter Point. From the inland waters of Totten Inlet to the small industrial footprint of a Gravel Pit near Harstine Island, the map documents a region where timber, residential growth, and protected natural areas coexist along the Puget Sound shoreline.
