1990 Map of Christmas Creek

About this map

Mount Octopus looms over a landscape defined by the convergence of the Snahapish River and the Clearwater River in this 1990 provisional survey. The area is characterized by its heavy timber management and state infrastructure, notably housing the Olympic Correction Center and the Clearwater Correction Center near the northern boundary. River navigation and recreation are highlighted by features such as Crooks Rapids and Rocky Rapids, alongside the Coppermine Bottom Campground situated at a bend in the main river channel. Numerous tributaries including Christmas Creek, Deception Creek, and Prairie Creek drain the steep terrain, while various Borrow Pits and Gravel Pits indicate active resource extraction and road maintenance in this corner of Jefferson County during the late twentieth century.
