2023 Map of Kloochman Rock

About this map

Kloochman Rock stands as a prominent landmark within the deeply incised topography of the western Olympic Mountains. This 2023 survey documents the convergence of several major water systems, including the Queets River, the Solleks River, and the Clearwater River. The map illustrates a landscape primarily defined by administrative conservation boundaries, where the Olympic National Park meets the Olympic Wilderness and the Olympic National Forest. Human passage through this dense terrain is largely limited to the Queets River Trl, which tracks the river's path through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Small-scale features like Lake Billy and numerous named tributaries such as Harlow Creek and Tshletshy Creek reveal the intricate drainage patterns of the peninsula's rainforest interior. The presence of numerous land blocks, such as PB 42 and PB 49, indicates the complex land ownership and survey history within these protected federal lands.
