About this map

Queets sits near the mouth of the Queets River, a vital landscape for the Quinault Indian Nation where the river meets the Pacific Ocean. This 2014 survey captures the coastal transition from the surf to the forested foothills of the Olympic Mountains. A significant portion of the northern terrain is preserved within Olympic National Park, showing the protected shoreline near Kalaloch.

Further inland, the map details the confluence of the Clearwater River and its numerous tributaries, including Wildcat Cr and Boulder Cr. The river's character is defined by named navigation hazards like Parson Rapids, Preacher Rapids, and Fisher Rapids. Landmarks such as the Elk Creek Lookout and the open expanse of Moses Prairie provide key reference points for local history and geographic study, while the border between Jefferson and Grays Harbor counties bisects the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
