2017 Map of Matheny Ridge

About this map

Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park define the geography of this remote portion of the Olympic Mountains. Centered on Matheny Ridge, the landscape is dominated by a complex network of forest development roads that trace the high contours and drainages of the Jefferson and Grays Harbor county line. The map illustrates the headwaters of several significant waterways, including Sams River to the north and the Middle Fork Salmon River to the south. This 2017 survey details the intensive infrastructure of the National Forest System, where named routes like Natl Forest Develop Road 2410 Rd provide access to high points such as Higley Peak. The intricate drainage patterns of Matheny Cr and Hook Br Cr underscore the region's high-elevation watershed importance within the protected federal lands.
