About this map

Lake Pleasant and the surrounding timberlands of the Olympic National Forest define this 1984 survey of the Olympic Peninsula. The settlement of Sappho serves as a central point along the Soleduck River, where the Soleduck Valley opens into broad flats like Beaver Prairie and Tyee Prairie. This landscape reveals a legacy of resource management and early transport, evidenced by the Soleduck Salmon Hatchery and several segments of an Old Railroad Grade that once connected these forests to coastal mills.

The terrain is marked by significant elevations including Tyee Hill, Beaver Hill, and the high Olympic Ridge. Numerous watercourses, including the Hoko River and Calawah River, drain the mountainous interior. Development is concentrated along the river corridor, featuring the Lake Pleasant Recreation Area, a utility Sub Station, and a Double Wooden Pole Power Line cutting through the dense forest cover.
