About this map

Elwha and the western outskirts of Port Angeles dominate this map of the northern Olympic Peninsula. The Elwha River cuts a deep path northward, crossed by the Elwha River Bridge and flanked by industrial and recreational access points. To the east, the William R Fairchild International Airport marks the transition into the city's suburban fringe, while the community of Braeburn sits near a dense network of timber and access roads such as the Main Access Road and Staging Access Road.

The landscape rises sharply from the Eden Valley into the protected wilderness of the Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest. High points like McDonald Mtn, Unicorn Peak, and Griff Peak define the high country of the Elwha River Range. The map reveals a complex web of modern trails and forest roads, including the Olympic Discovery Trail Adventure Route, which reflects the region's contemporary focus on recreation and resource management.
