2020 Map of Lake Quinault West

About this map

Lake Quinault anchors this coastal Washington landscape, where the Quinault River flows through a dense network of timberlands and protected wilderness. The settlements of Amanda Park and Neilton serve as small hubs for the region, positioned near the boundary where Olympic National Park meets Olympic National Forest. The topography is defined by the transition from the river valley flats to significant rises such as Thimble Mtn and Lone Mtn, while Chow Chow Prairie occupies the southwest corner. Local transport is represented by the Hass Road and Bia RD F-15, which thread through the forest to reach secluded water bodies like Pope Lake. This 2020 record documents the modern boundaries and naming of numerous drainages, including Boulder Cr and the uniquely named Grindstone Cr, illustrating the hydrography of the Olympic Peninsula.
