2020 Map of Kalaloch Ridge

About this map

Olympic National Park occupies the southern reach of this coastal forest landscape, where the terrain is defined by the high spine of Kalaloch Ridge and a dense network of drainage systems. The northern boundary is marked by the wide path of the Hoh River, while the southern edge follows the Clearwater River as it passes through Skookumchuck Rapids and Barker Rapids. The map illustrates a complex hydrography of creeks including Steamboat Cr, Nolan Cr, and the various forks of Kalaloch Cr. Access to these timberlands and protected areas is facilitated by a few key corridors such as Oil City Rd and NPS Road 1436. This modern survey records the precise boundaries between the national park and the surrounding forest management zones, including sections of T26N R13W and T25N R12W, showing how the landscape is partitioned for conservation and natural resource use in Jefferson County.
