2020 Map of Salmon River East

About this map

The Queets River and Salmon River dominate this Olympic Peninsula landscape, where managed timberlands meet protected wilderness. The boundary between Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest runs through the center of the sheet, illustrating the transition from recreational forest land to high-protection park territory. The intricate drainage network of Matheny Creek, Phelan Cr, and Mud Cr feeds into these major river systems, while the prominent Matheny Ridge rises to the east. Transportation in this area is defined by a network of logging and access roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 3300 Rd and Queets River Rd, alongside primitive routes like the Sams River Loop Trail. This map captures a corner of the Pacific Northwest where industrial forestry and natural conservation coexist at the confluence of several vital salmon-bearing forks.
