2014 Map of Mount Walker

About this map

Quilcene serves as the primary gateway to the eastern foothills of the Olympic Mountains, where the community is situated near the convergence of the Little Quilcene River and the Big Quilcene River. The landscape is dominated by the steep slopes of the Quilcene Range and prominent heights such as Green Mtn and Mount Walker. This 2014 survey documents the established network of forest roads, including the Natl Forest Develop Road 27 Rd, which provide access to remote locations like the Bark Shanty Shelter within the Olympic National Forest. Local history is anchored by the Quilcene Cemetery and civil works like the Big Quilcene River Bridge, while the Quilcene National Fish Hatchery highlights the long-standing importance of river ecology to the area's development. Small water bodies like Rice Lake and Devils Lake are interspersed among the high ridges and deep drainages of the Olympic Peninsula.
