About this map

Lightning Peak and the high elevations of the Olympic Mountains define this landscape within the Olympic National Forest. The map detail follows the varied topography of Prospect Ridge and Timber Mtn as they descend toward the significant waters of Lake Cushman in the northeast. This area is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Le Bar Creek, Dry Creek, and the prominent South Fork Skokomish River which meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle.

Accessibility is primarily marked by specialized transit routes such as the Skok Wynoochee Crossover and the High Steel-Browns Creek Rd. A concentration of trails like the Dry Creek Trl and the Lower So. Fk. Skokomish Trl indicates a focus on forest management and recreation within the Mount Skokomish Wilderness. The presence of several named high points, including Dennie Ahl Hill and Cushman Hill, provides clear landmarks for those studying the regional geography of Mason County.
