1995 Map of Salmon River East

About this map

The Quinault Indian Reservation and Olympic National Park meet in this 1990s U.S. Forest Service revision, illustrating a complex landscape of jurisdictional boundaries and drainage systems. The survey highlights the Old Indian Treaty Boundary as it intersects with the Queets River and the rugged Matheny Ridge. This area is defined by its hydrology, with the North Fork Salmon River and numerous tributaries like Matheny Creek and Phelan Creek carving through the terrain. Evidence of land use and resource extraction appears in the form of scattered Borrow Pits and a Gravel Pit, providing a grounded record of local infrastructure needs during the late twentieth century. The map serves as a primary source for understanding the precise alignment of the National Forest Boundary against both tribal and park lands.
