2011 Map of Lake Quinault East

About this map

Quinault and the smaller settlement of Norwood sit at the northeastern head of Lake Quinault, where the Quinault River feeds into the basin. This Olympic Peninsula landscape is defined by its deep connectivity to the water, shown through an extensive network of creeks including Merriman Creek, Ziegler Creek, and Haas Creek that drain from the high elevations of Mount O'Neil and Wooded Peak. The presence of several established recreational sites like the July Creek Campground and Willaby Creek Forest Camp indicates the area's long-standing role as a gateway for forestry and outdoor research, further emphasized by the dedicated Quinault Research Natural Area. To the south, the terrain shifts into the drainage basin for the West Fork Humptulips River, while landmarks like the Mulkey Shelter provide specific points of interest for those tracing the historical routes through the Quinault Ridge.
