About this map

The South Fork Skokomish River carves through the Olympic National Forest landscape shown in this 2011 survey. The drainage network is complex, with numerous tributaries such as Le Bar Creek, Brown Creek, and Frigid Creek feeding the river system, while the northern edge is dominated by the waters of Lake Cushman. High elevations are anchored by Lightning Peak and Timber Mountain, overlooking the prominent Prospect Ridge.

Resource management and recreational infrastructure appear at Dennie Ahl Seed Orchard and the Dennie Ahl Hill Lookout. The map also details forest access and recreation at the Brown Creek Campground. The dense concentration of forestry roads and numbered service routes reflects the intensive management of the area, providing a clear view of the topography surrounding Dennie Ahl Hill and the various creeks like Dalby Creek and McTaggert Creek that define these steep watersheds.
