2023 Map of Kalaloch Ridge

About this map

Olympic National Park occupies the southwestern portion of this map, reflecting a landscape defined by high ridges and a dense network of coastal drainage systems. The Hoh River cuts across the northern edge, while the southern reaches are shaped by the Clearwater River and its turbulent features like Skookumchuck Rapids and Barker Rapids. This modern survey documents the contemporary road network within the peninsula, including US Highway 101 and the access provided by Oil City Rd and NPS Road 1436. Between these corridors, the terrain rises toward Kalaloch Ridge, a prominent feature of the Olympic Mountains. Numerous tributaries, such as Steamboat Creek and Mink Creek, weave through the timbered sections of the quadrangle, illustrating the high-precipitation hydrology of the region.
