About this map

Lake Quinault and the Quinault River form the focal point of this coastal Washington landscape, where the protected lands of Olympic National Park and the Olympic National Forest converge. The settlement of Neilton and the flat expanse of Chow Chow Prairie provide a glimpse into the local residential and agricultural pockets existing alongside these managed wilderness areas. Significant water systems, including Ten O'Clock Cr, Prairie Cr, and McCalla Cr, flow from the Olympic Mountains through a network of forest development roads.

The map details specialized land use through the Quinault Research Natural Area, emphasizing the region's commitment to environmental study. Civil infrastructure is represented by the Old State Highway 9 and a local Po, while physical landmarks like Lone Mtn break the river valley profile. This survey serves as a record of the intricate boundary lines between national park, national forest, and private land near the southwestern edge of the Olympic Peninsula.
