About this map

Quillayute Prairie and its smaller counterpart, Little Quillayute Prairie, define this coastal lowland where the Olympic Peninsula meets the Pacific Ocean. This landscape is characterized by the convergence of major waterways, including the Sol Duc River, Bogachiel River, and Dickey River, which merge to form the Quillayute River before reaching the coast. Local history is anchored by the settlement of Mora and the Quillayute Prairie Cem, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Quillayute Airport.

The southern reaches of the map include the transition into Olympic National Park and the rugged coastline at Strawberry Bay and Three D Beach. The Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the territory, crossing numerous drainages such as Maxfield Cr and Newbert Cr. This survey provides a clear view of the rural road network, from La Push Rd to named local routes like Mora Rd and Leyendecker Rd, reflecting the area's ongoing connection to the timber and coastal landscapes.
