About this map

Ellis Mountain dominates the center of this 1980s landscape, marking a rugged divide between several significant waterway systems in Clallam County. The northern reaches of the Olympic National Forest extend into the lower half of the quadrangle, where the Pysht River and Cold Creek wind through the timberlands. To the north, the Clallam River and Charley Creek flow toward the coast, with the Clallam River Campground providing a point of interest for local history and recreation.

Evidence of local industry and community history is found in the northern corners of the map, where multiple Quarries and a Barrow Pit indicate the area's resource extraction. Genealogists and local historians will find the Old Clallam Bay Cemetery near the river, a key landmark for tracing early families in this part of Washington. The western terrain is defined by the drainage of the Hoko River and its many tributaries, including Coke Creek and the Little Hoko River.
