About this map

Quilcene serves as the primary hub of this 1990s Jefferson County survey, which details the rugged intersection of the Olympic Peninsula's water systems and timberlands. The landscape is defined by the Big Quilcene River and Little Quilcene River, both of which are managed by significant infrastructure including the Big Quilcene Dam and Little Quilcene Dam. These water sources are vital to the local economy and ecology, supporting the US Fish Hatchery located just south of the town center.

High-altitude landmarks such as Mt Walker and its southern vantage at South Point dominate the eastern topography, while the Quilcene Range including Green Mtn and Mt Crag stretches across the Olympic National Forest boundary. For researchers, the map captures a specific moment in resource management, showing the extensive network of forest roads, including Lords Lake Road, and industrial sites like the Gravel Pit and Quarry used for regional maintenance.
