About this map

The Olympic National Park boundary defines the western portion of this coastal Washington landscape, where the dense rainforest meets the shores of Ozette Lake. On the lake's eastern edge, the terrain transitions into the foothills of the Olympic Mountains, marked by landmarks like Birkestol Hill and carved by an intricate network of waterways including Crooked Creek and Siwash Creek. This modern survey illustrates the persistent isolation of the Olympic Peninsula's interior, showing a landscape dominated by water and topography rather than human settlement.

In the northeast, Dickey Lake sits surrounded by the headwaters of the West Fork Dickey River and Barbour Creek. The mapping captures various bays and points along the lake shore, such as Swan Bay, Umbrella Bay, and Preachers Point, alongside small islands like Garden Island. These features reflect a region primarily utilized for wilderness preservation and natural resource management, where the drainage patterns of the East Fork Dickey River and South Fork Crooked Creek dictate the local geography.
