About this map

Olympic National Forest land dominates this 2017 survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial forestry and critical water infrastructure. The southern portion of the map is centered on the Aberdeen Watershed, a vital resource containing the Wishkah Reservoir Number Two, Wishkah Reservoir Number Three, and the Aberdeen Reservoir. This network of basins manages the headwaters of the Wishkah River as it flows south toward the coast.

Timber management and topographic relief are evident through the extensive system of forest roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 2203 Rd, and the presence of an Intermittent Logging Rd near the eastern boundary. The terrain varies from the high points of Cougar Mtn and Humptulips Ridge to the low drainage of the Wynoochee River and the Oxbow formation. These features illustrate the intersection of protected national forest land and municipal utility management in the Pacific Northwest.
