2017 Map of Kalaloch Ridge

About this map

The Olympic Mountains dominate this 2017 survey, where high timberlands give way to a complex network of coastal drainages. In the south, the Olympic National Park boundary encompasses the rising terrain of Kalaloch Ridge, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the steep valleys of Kalaloch Cr and its forks. These waters eventually feed into the Pacific, though the map focus remains on the interior logging and access routes like Oil City Rd and G and L Shake Rd. In the northeast, the Hoh River cuts a wide valley, contrasted by the tighter, rapid-filled waters of the Clearwater River to the south. The presence of Skookumchuck Rapids and Barker Rapids indicates the heavy seasonal flow common to these coastal ranges, while NPS Road 1436 provides a rare point of penetration into the protected park forest.
