About this map

The Pacific Ocean coastline meets the rugged Olympic Peninsula in this 2011 survey. The settlement of Queets is positioned at a sharp bend in the Queets River, just inland from the coast, while the community of Clearwater sits further north along the Clearwater River. This landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Moses Creek, Whale Creek, and Elk Creek, which feed into the primary river systems.

Coastal access is defined by the Kalaloch area, featuring the Kalaloch Campground and the South Beach Campground. Evidence of forest management and observation is visible at the Elk Creek Lookout and through the network of forest roads such as Clearwater Rd and NFD 3000 Rd. The inland geography is punctuated by the open expanse of Moses Prairie, a distinct break in the surrounding forested terrain.
