About this map

The complex shoreline of the Great Peninsula and Key Peninsula defines this maritime landscape, where numerous inlets and passages separate island communities from the mainland. Shoreline settlements like Vaughn, Grapeview, and Lakebay are oriented toward the protected waters of Case Inlet and Carr Inlet. The map reveals a high density of small-scale coastal features, from the residential clusters at Fair Harbor to the quiet reaches of Von Geldern Cove.

Inland, the geography is punctuated by small freshwater bodies such as Jackson Lake and Catfish Lake, while the Vaughn Bay Cem and the Rocky Bay Airport provide evidence of local community infrastructure. The relationship between land and sea is most prominent at Stretch Island and Herron Island, both of which remain distinct geographic markers within the larger Puget Sound network. This modern survey detail shows the established road networks, including Elgin Clifton Rd and Gig Harbor Longbranch Rd, that connect these historic harbor towns.
