About this map

The Aberdeen Watershed dominates this portion of the Olympic National Forest, protecting the critical water supply for coastal communities. Several major catchments, including Wishkah Reservoir Number Two, Wishkah Reservoir Number Three, and the Aberdeen Reservoir, are linked by the headwaters of the Wishkah River. This hydrological network is defined by the sharp elevation changes between Humptulips Ridge and the Olympic Mountains.

Highland terrain such as Cougar Mtn and the Weatherwax Basin overlook a landscape carved by the Wynoochee River and the E Fork Humptulips River. The river systems are characterized by dramatic turns like the Oxbow and numerous tributaries including Larsen Cr and Neil Cr. Access is maintained through a network of forestry routes like Natl Forest Develop Road 22 Rd, reflecting the region's managed wilderness character.
