1990 Map of Dry Bed Lakes

About this map

The Olympic National Forest dominates this landscape along the boundary of Mason and Grays Harbor counties. This terrain is defined by a dense drainage network where the Middle Fork Satsop River and Vance Creek carve through the timberlands. The namesake Dry Bed Lakes and Dry Bed Creek suggest a seasonal hydrological character common to this region's high-precipitation environment. Industrial activity is represented by localized extraction sites like the Gravel Pit located near Dry Bed Creek. Smaller tributaries such as Rabbit Creek, Decker Creek, and Danny Creek feed the larger Satsop system, illustrating the intricate watershed that supports the local forest economy. This 1990 edition, based on earlier photography, documents the forest road system and topographical detail before more recent landscape changes.
