1990 Map of Lake Quinault East

About this map

Lake Quinault serves as the focal point for this landscape where the Quinault Indian Reservation meets the protected reaches of the Olympic National Park. The settlement of Quinault sits along the southern shore, acting as a gateway for the recreation and administrative infrastructure of the late twentieth century, including a Ranger Station and multiple lakeside sites like Willaby Creek Campground and July Creek Campground. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Olympic Ridge and the Colonel Bob Wilderness, characterized by dramatic peaks such as Wooded Peak and Mount O'Neil. Drainage patterns are defined by the Quinault River and the West Fork Humptulips River, with numerous named tributaries like Ziegler Creek and Gatton Creek carving through the heavy timber of the Olympic National Forest.
