2017 Map of Lake Quinault East

About this map

Lake Quinault dominates the western edge of this landscape, where the Quinault River flows from the peaks of Olympic National Park into the surrounding Olympic National Forest. This 2017 survey details the interface between the lake-shore settlements of Quinault and Amanda Park and the steep elevations of the Olympic Mountains. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Quinault Ridge and Humptulips Ridge, which separate deep drainages such as Wright Canyon and the headwaters of the W Fork Humptulips River. High points like Mt O'Neil and Bell Mtn stand over a network of forest development roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 2258 RD, which provide access to the timbered backcountry. The map illustrates a complex drainage system where numerous creeks like Merriman Creek and Gatton Creek feed the larger river system through narrow valleys.
