2017 Map of Christmas Creek

About this map

The Olympic Mountains dominate the eastern reach of this Jefferson County landscape, where the Snahapish River and Christmas Creek carve through the high terrain. In the lower elevations, the Clearwater River snakes across the southwestern corner, marked by river navigation points like Rocky Rapids and Crooks Rapids. This 2017 survey details a region defined by its timber and water resources, evidenced by the extensive logging road network of the Hoh Mainline and Clearwater Rd. The map illustrates the complex drainage system of the Hoh and Clearwater basins, including Nolan Cr, Miller Cr, and Shale Cr, while highlighting prominent summits like Mt Octopus. The landscape is largely structured around township and range lines, such as t26n r12w, illustrating the modern management of this Washington wilderness.
