About this map

New Kamilche and the surrounding timberlands of the Black Hills define this corner of the Puget Sound region, where the county line separates Mason and Thurston counties. The landscape is characterized by its deep water access and varied terrain, from the shoreline of Eld Inlet at Madrona Beach to the elevation of Rock Candy Mtn in the southwest. Between these points, the settlement of Schneiders Prairie sits atop a plateau above the southern reach of the inlet, illustrating the geographic distribution of residential growth along the Old Olympic Highway.

Drainage systems like Waddell Creek and McLane Creek flow through the southern hills, while the northern section is marked by the sheltered waters of Burns Cove and Bowman Cove. This topographic study provides a look at the transition from coastal points like Deepwater Point to the interior highlands around Summit Lake, documenting the network of loop roads and highways that connect these disparate waterfront and woodland communities.
