2017 Map of Gunderson Mountain

About this map

Shuwah sits at the eastern edge of this landscape where the Sol Duc Valley meets the foothills of the Olympic Mountains. The area is defined by the complex hydrology of the western Olympic Peninsula, including the Sol Duc River and the headwaters of the Middle Fork Dickey River and E Fork Dickey River. High points like Gunderson Mountain and Nelson Hill provide structure to a terrain marked by glacial remnants like Dickey Lake and the smaller Thunder Lake. Settlement is sparse and concentrated along the corridor of Highway 101, where roads like Shuwah Rd and Lucken Rd provide access to the Maxfield Prairie area. This 2017 survey documents a modern landscape of managed forest and river valley life in Clallam County.
