About this map

Lake Pleasant and the surrounding timberlands of the Olympic National Forest define this landscape on the Olympic Peninsula. The small settlements of Beaver and Sappho serve as local hubs along the road network, which includes Lake Pleasant Rd and the corridor toward the Sol Duc Valley. This region is characterized by significant topographic relief, with prominent peaks like Deadmans Hill and Tyee Hill overlooking the river valleys.

Water resources are central to the area's geography, notably at the Soleduck Salmon Hatchery along the Sol Duc River. Level terrain is found at several named clearings, including Beaver Prairie, Tyee Prairie, and Maxfield Prairie, which stand out against the dense forest and ridges like Calawah Ridge. The map details the transition from the Hoko River headwaters in the north to the Olympic Mountains in the south, documenting the complex network of creeks such as Shuwah Cr and Bear Cr that drain these highlands.
