About this map

Olympic National Forest dominates this section of the Olympic Mountains, where steep ridges and deep drainage basins define the landscape of Mason County. Significant elevations including Lightning Peak, Timber Mtn, and Dry Mtn overlook the northern reaches of Lake Cushman. The network of waterways is extensive, with the South Fork Skokomish River carving through the southern half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Brown Cr, Gibbons Cr, and McTaggert Cr.

Access through this forested interior is marked by specialized routes like the High Steel Browns Creek Rd and the Skok Wynoochee Crossover. The map provides a look at the timberlands and watershed management areas before the terrain descends toward Dennie Ahl Hill and Cushman Hill. This survey serves as a modern baseline for tracing the geography of the Skokomish drainage and the protected lands of the Olympic Peninsula.
