2011 Map of Quillayute Prairie

About this map

The Quillayute River basin dominates this coastal landscape, where the confluence of the Sol Duc River and Bogachiel River forms the main waterway leading toward the Pacific Ocean. This 2011 survey captures the unique topography of the Quillayute Prairie and Little Quillayute Prairie, clearings in the dense forest that have long served as focal points for local activity. The settlement of Quillayute and the nearby Quillayute Cemetery represent the area's inland community, while Mora and the Mora Campground mark the transition into Olympic National Park near the coast. Infrastructure such as the Quillayute State Airport, with its distinctive taxiways like Delta Wing Dr, highlights the region's aviation and logistical importance. Researchers can also trace family-named roads and landmarks, including Mina Smith Rd and the Leyendecker Picnic Area, which reflect the localized history of this Olympic Peninsula river system.
