About this map

Soleduck River and the North Fork Calawah River define the drainage of this Olympic Peninsula landscape, where industrial logging and conservation interests intersect. The presence of the Old R.R. Grade winding through the timber north of the Soleduck River points to the area's history of rail-based timber extraction, a legacy that remains visible in the terrain even as the tracks themselves were removed. Within the Olympic National Forest, recreational and resource management sites like the Bear Creek Campground and the Bear Springs Rearing Pond reflect a mid-century shift toward multi-use land management.
