About this map

Puget Sound fingerlings reach deep into the forested landscape of the Pacific Northwest, defining the jagged shorelines of Totten Inlet and Eld Inlet. The terrain transitions from the coastal lowlands of Oyster Bay to the rising elevations of the Black Hills, anchored by the prominent summit of Rock Candy Mtn. This area reflects a quiet settlement pattern concentrated around the fertile reaches of Kamilche Valley and the residential clusters at Schneider Prairie and Schneiders Prairie.

Modern infrastructure follows the contours of the land, with the Old Hwy 101 NW and W Old Olympic Hwy tracing historical transit corridors between the sound and the interior. Notable inland water bodies like Summit Lake provide a focal point for local development, while numerous drainage systems including McLane Cr, Waddell Cr, and Schneider Cr carve through the timbered ridges. The map captures a region defined by its proximity to the water and its logging-era topography.
