2011 Map of Prices Peak

About this map

Prices Peak dominates the northwestern terrain of this Olympic Peninsula landscape, standing as a high point above a complex network of drainages. The map reveals a heavily managed forest environment defined by numerous arterial forest roads, such as the A-Line and D-Line, which weave through the ridges to support local timber and resource operations like the Studer Quarry. This area is most notably characterized by the convergence of the Satsop drainage system, including the West Fork Satsop River, Middle Fork Satsop River, and East Fork Satsop River. In the southern reaches, the waters of East Fork Sylvia Creek and West Fork Sylvia Creek flow toward the recreational basin of Sylvia Lake. The transition from industrial logging roads in the north to residential corridors like Satsop Riviera Loop in the southeast illustrates the region's dual identity as both a working forest and a rural residential retreat.
