About this map

Quillayute and Mora are the primary settlements of this coastal Washington landscape, where the confluence of several major waterways defines the local geography. The Quillayute River is formed by the union of the Sol Duc River and the Bogachiel River, carving through the flats before reaching the Pacific shore. Much of the western and southern territory is managed as part of Olympic National Park, containing the Mora Campground and the shoreline at Three D Beach.

Central to the area is the expansive Quillayute Prairie and its smaller neighbor, Little Quillayute Prairie. These open reaches contrast with the dense drainage networks of Dickey River and its forks to the north. Transportation and public works are represented by the Quillayute Airport and Thunder Field, while local heritage is anchored at the Quillayute Cemetery. For those exploring the wilderness, the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the terrain near the base of the Olympic Mountains.
