2017 Map of Reade Hill

About this map

Forks Prairie and the township of Forks anchor the northwest corner of this coastal Washington landscape, where the Olympic Peninsula's dense river networks converge. The map documents a complex drainage system including the Calahaw River and its various forks, alongside the winding Bogachiel River which marks the transition into the Bogachiel Rain Forest Wetland to the south. This area is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, rising from the river valleys to Calahaw Ridge and the Olympic Mountains. Significant conservation and recreation footprints are visible through the Olympic National Forest and the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail. For those tracing local history, the Forks Cem and named high points like Reade Hill and Elk Ridge provide essential geographic context for this timber-rich region as it appeared in the late 2010s.
