2017 Map of Finley Creek

About this map

Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest converge in this high-elevation wilderness along the border of Jefferson and Grays Harbor counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp relief of the Olympic Mountains, where Finley Peak overlooks a complex network of drainages. To the north, the Sams River winds beneath Sams Ridge, while the southern reaches of the map are dominated by the wide corridor of the Quinault River. This 2017 survey illustrates the managed transition between protected parklands and national forest territory, marked by a series of specialized transit routes like Natl Forest Develop Road 2422 Rd and N Shore Rd. Small alpine water bodies, including Lilly Lake and Round Lake, sit tucked within the ridges, feeding the numerous creeks such as Matheny Cr and Finley Creek that carve through the timberlands.
