About this map

Hood Canal takes a dramatic turn at The Great Bend, defining the geography of this coastal region where the Skokomish River meets the saltwater. The settlement of Union sits prominently along the shoreline, serving as a gateway to the Skokomish Valley and the expansive Skokomish Flats. Inland, the landscape is dotted with numerous small lakes and residential developments, most notably the planned community surrounding Lake Limerick and the adjacent Lake Leprechaun.

Transport patterns are dictated by the water and terrain, with roads like E McReavy Rd and NE N Shore Rd tracing the contours of the land. From the heights of Webb Hill down to the lowlands of McEwen Prairie, the map reveals a transition from traditional river valley agriculture and shoreline settlements to modern lakeside recreational living. This detailed 2017 survey provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure and natural water systems, including Schumacher Cr and Johns Cr, that sustain the local environment.
