2011 Map of Bob Creek

About this map

The Queets River basin dominates this 2011 topographic study of the Olympic Peninsula, where a complex network of glacial and mountain streams carves through the landscape. This area is defined by its lack of modern road infrastructure, highlighting instead the natural drainages of Bob Creek, Pelton Creek, and Tshletshy Creek. The presence of the Bob Creek Shelter and Pelton Creek Shelter along the river banks suggests established backcountry access routes through the wilderness of Jefferson County. Rising above the deep river valleys, Tshletshy Ridge provides a significant geographic divide between the primary watercourses. This map captures the remote character of the region, emphasizing the hydrological patterns of tributaries like Paradise Creek and Harlow Creek as they feed into the larger river system.
