2011 Map of Reade Hill

About this map

Forks sits at the western edge of this 2011 survey, serving as a gateway to the Olympic Peninsula's dense network of rivers and logging roads. The landscape is defined by the confluence of the Calawah River and its forks, where the North Fork Calawah River and South Fork Calawah River meet near Klahane Campground. This area demonstrates a topography deeply carved by water, with Elk Ridge and Reade Hill rising between drainage basins like those of Elk Creek and the Bogachiel River. Local history is anchored at the Forks Cemetery on the outskirts of town, while the surrounding timberlands are accessed via a complex grid of forest routes, including the prominent Elk Creek Ridge Rd. The map tracks the vital waterways that have long supported the region's ecology and industry, from the winding Bear Creek to the southern reaches of May Creek.
