About this map

Lake Mills and Lake Aldwell define the corridor of the Elwha River in this 2014 survey, just before significant environmental restoration efforts transformed the landscape. The area is dominated by the vast protected lands of Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest, where the Olympic Mountains rise to prominent heights at Unicorn Peak and Griff Peak.

Settlement is concentrated in the north, where Eden Valley and the outskirts of Port Angeles meet the William R Fairchild International Airport. Recreational landmarks like Altair Campgrounds and the Waumilla Lodge are positioned along the river valley, serving travelers on the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail. The map documents a specific moment for the river's hydrology, showing the engineered structures like the Elwha River Bridge and Power Plant Rd alongside natural features such as Indian Cr and Little River.
