1990 Map of Finley Creek

About this map

Sams Ridge and Matheny Ridge dominate this corner of the Olympic Peninsula, where the landscape transitions across high-altitude boundaries. The southern portion of the map is defined by the Quinault River, which marks the divide between Jefferson and Grays Harbor counties. This 1990 edition captures the region as it was managed by various federal agencies, showing the intersecting lines of the Olympic National Park and the Olympic National Forest. Within the forest lands, human activity is evident through small-scale extractive sites such as Quarries and a Borrow Pit. Along the river valley, the Quinault River Ranger Sta serves as a lone hub for wilderness management near the entrance to the Colonel Bob Wilderness. Waterways like Finley Creek and Matheny Creek carve through the steep terrain, feeding into the larger river system from high-mountain sources like Round Lake and Lilly Lake.
