About this map

Lake Quinault serves as the focal point of this western Washington landscape, where the Quinault River winds through a complex network of glacial and alluvial drainages. The small community of Amanda Park sits near the lakeshore, anchored by the Amanda Park Post Office, while the settlement of Neilton is situated further south along the main transit corridor. This survey documents a transition from the lakeside environment to the rising terrain of Lone Mountain to the west, illustrating the connection between the water-rich valley floor and the surrounding timberlands.

Transportation patterns are defined by a mix of established routes like Old State Hwy 9 and a dense system of Forest Service roads, including NFD 2460 RD and NFD 2373 RD. The intricate hydrology of the region is evident in the numerous tributaries feeding the river system, such as Prairie Creek, McCalla Creek, and Boulder Creek, providing a detailed record of the Olympic Peninsula's drainage patterns during the early 21st century.
