About this map

The town of Forks and the adjacent Forks Prairie serve as the focal point for this survey of the western Olympic Peninsula. Located at the confluence of several major waterways, the landscape is defined by the Calawah River and its multiple forks, alongside the winding Bogachiel River to the south. The area transitions from the settled valley floor, marked by the Forks Cem, into the dense timberlands of the Olympic National Forest.

Modern recreation and preservation efforts are visible through the inclusion of the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl and the Bogachiel Rain Forest Wetland Trl, which navigate the elevation changes near Reade Hill and Grader Creek Hill. The map also captures the transition between Clallam Co and Jefferson Co, illustrating the remote drainage basins of Bear Creek and Fahnestock Creek as they descend from the Olympic Mountains.
