1988 Map of Forks

About this map

Forks serves as the primary hub for this coastal timber and river landscape, where the Soleduck River, Calawah River, and Bogachiel River converge. This 1988 topographic-bathymetric study provides a detailed view of the Olympic Peninsula's rugged western edge, from the heights of the Olympic Mountains down to the seafloor contours of the Pacific Ocean. The map documents significant land management boundaries, including the Olympic National Park and the Washington Islands National Wildlife Refuge, alongside the Quileute Indian Reservation at La Push and the Quinault Indian Reservation to the south. Notable maritime landmarks such as Destruction Island and James Island are detailed with bathymetric depth gradients. Further inland, the infrastructure of the forest economy and public land administration is visible through sites like the Snider Ranger Sta and Forks Municipal Airport.
