2017 Map of Queets

About this map

Queets and Kalaloch stand as the primary coastal touchpoints where the Pacific shoreline meets the dense forests of the Olympic Mountains. This 2017 survey shows a landscape heavily defined by its river systems and federal land management, with the Olympic National Park boundary bisecting the terrain. The Queets River and Clearwater River dominate the interior drainage, creating complex alluvial patterns near the coast. Transportation is anchored by Highway 101, but the interior is accessible primarily via timber and service routes like the Hoh Mainline and Nat For Dev Rd 4700. A notable geographic opening is found at Moses Prairie in the southern portion of the quadrangle, providing a rare break in the timbered hills near the Whale Cr drainage and the border between Jefferson and Grays Harbor counties.
