2020 Map of Finley Creek

About this map

Kestner Homestead sits near the confluence of Finley Cr and the Quinault River, representing a rare pocket of documented settlement in a landscape dominated by the protected timberlands of Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park. The terrain is defined by high drainage divides including Sams Ridge and Matheny Ridge, which channel water into the Sams River and various tributaries. Small upland water bodies like Round Lake and Lilly Lake are tucked among the steep contours, while the southern edge of the map shows the transition to the river valley floor. Access is primarily concentrated along the Quinault South Shore Road FH 5, which follows the river's path through the southern townships of t23n r9w and t23n r8w.
