The Great Bend of the Hood Canal serves as the focal point for this survey of Mason County, where the settlement of Union sits along the southern shore. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning from the coastal waters of The Narrows to the interior highlands around Webb Hill. This region is defined by a dense network of small lakes and residential developments, including Lake Limerick, Lake Leprechaun, and Little Island Lake, showing the modern layout of suburban communities such as Amelia and Fernwood. To the north, across the canal, the community of Tahuya is situated near Ayres Point. The intricate hydrology of the area is well-documented, with Johns Cr and Cranberry Cr draining the glacial topography towards Oakland Bay. The presence of the Skokomish reservation area in the west highlights the varied land use patterns between tribal lands, planned communities, and the coastal waterfront.
