2017 Map of Salmon River West

About this map

Olympic National Park encompasses a significant portion of this coastal Washington landscape, where the Olympic Mountains slope toward the Pacific drainage system. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the Salmon River and the Queets River, the latter of which features the Lyman Rapids. These river valleys served as primary corridors through the heavy timber of the Olympic Peninsula, long before modern infrastructure reached the interior.
