About this map

Olympic National Park defines this stretch of the Pacific coast, where the wilderness landscape meets the ocean at the western edge of Jefferson County. The coastal topography is characterized by dramatic sea stacks and rocky outcrops, most notably at the Giants Graveyard and Alexander Island, which sits within the Quillayute Needles National Wildlife Refuge.

Landward travel is traced by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which skirts the shoreline from Teahwhit Head south through Strawberry Point and Toleak Point. Several coastal drainages, including Goodman Creek and Scott Cr, break the cliffs of Scotts Bluff as they flow from the foothills of the Olympic Mountains into the sea. This 2017 survey documents the preserved natural state of this primitive coastline, emphasizing the intersection of protected marine and terrestrial environments.
