1982 Map of Toleak Point

About this map

The Pacific shoreline of the Olympic Peninsula is defined by a jagged collection of sea stacks and rocky outcroppings in this 1982 coastal survey. Within the Olympic National Park boundary, the coast is punctuated by the dramatic formations of the Quillayute Needles and the Giants Graveyard, reflecting the erosive power of the ocean against the land. Inland, the landscape rises toward the east, where the waters of Jackson Creek and Goodman Creek carve through the forested terrain before reaching the sea. Small pockets of shelter, such as those at Toleak Point and Strawberry Pt, provide some relief along a coastline dominated by prominent headlands like Teahwhit Head and Scotts Bluff. Offshore, the Washington Islands Wilderness protects isolated features such as Alexander Island and Perkins Reef, emphasizing the remote, marine-focused character of this Jefferson County territory.
