2023 Map of Union

About this map

The dramatic shoreline of The Great Bend anchors this contemporary topographic view of the southern reach of Hood Canal. This maritime landscape is defined by the proximity of the Skokomish Flats and Annas Bay to the rising terrain of Webb Hill. The settlement of Union remains a focal point, where researchers will find the Union Pioneer Cem positioned near the water's edge. South of the canal, a dense network of residential developments and recreational waters has emerged, including Lake Limerick and Lake Leprechaun. These modern water bodies contrast with the older natural features like Schumacher Creek and McEwen Prairie, illustrating how contemporary land use has integrated with the area's glacial geography. From the north shore at Tahuya to the southern waters of Oakland Bay, the map traces the intersection of Puget Sound tidewaters and upland forestry.
