About this map

The Quinault Indian Reservation covers the heart of this landscape, where the Quinault River flows from the glacial waters of Lake Quinault toward the Pacific. Along the northern and eastern fringes, the map documents the transition into protected federal lands within Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park. The local economy of the late twentieth century is evidenced by various Gravel Pits and a Substation near the settlement of Amanda Park.

Cultural and industrial history is traced through several miles of Old Railroad Grade winding through the timberlands, marking former logging transport routes. The Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the northern terrain near Ten O'Clock Creek, while small communities like Neilton and the open flats of Chow Chow Prairie provide anchors for genealogical research in this corner of Grays Harbor County.
