2024 Map of Whiting

About this map

The coastal village of Whiting serves as the focal point for this map, where the Orange River flows through a series of interconnected water bodies before reaching the Atlantic. The landscape is defined by the significant presence of the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge, specifically the Edmunds Unit, which protects a mosaic of wetlands and forests including Western Lake and Eastern Lake. Local history is reflected in the place names of the rugged shoreline, where points like Commissary Point and Wilber Point overlook Whiting Bay. Further north, the settlement of Edmunds and the tidal coves near North Trescott indicate a community historically tied to the timber and seafaring economies of Washington County. Moving inland, the topography rises toward peaks such as Pughole Mtn and Hobart Meadow Mtn, separated by drainages like Sunken Stream and Cranberry Brook.
