About this map

The Middle Fork Satsop River and its intricate drainage network define this 2011 survey of the Olympic Peninsula foothills. This landscape is characterized by a dense system of tributary streams, including Baker Creek, Dry Bed Creek, and Rabbit Creek, which flow through steep topography managed as forest land. The ephemeral nature of the local hydrology is evident in the naming of the Dry Bed Lakes, situated in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

A complex grid of National Forest Development roads, such as NFD 2341 and NFD 2199 Rd, provides access to these timberlands and remote drainages. Local routes like Beeville Rd and Kelly Hall Rd hint at the area's rural history and connection to nearby valley settlements. Researchers can trace the paths of Canyon River and Danny Walker Creek as they carve through the terrain, illustrating the high-density waterway patterns typical of this Pacific Northwest timber region.
