About this map

The Queets River and Salmon River flow through this 1990 survey of Jefferson and Grays Harbor counties, where the boundaries of the Olympic National Park meet the northern edge of the Quinault Indian Reservation. The map documents a heavily forested landscape defined by the convergence of several major drainage systems, including the Raft River and numerous tributaries like Hurst Creek and McKinnon Creek.

A notable historical detail is the presence of the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which runs southeast through the terrain. The landscape is marked by industrial activity related to its natural resources, evidenced by scattered Borrow Pits and a Gravel Pit near Tacoma Creek. These features, alongside Lyman Rapids, illustrate a Pacific Northwest environment where protected federal lands and tribal territories intersect with early late-century resource extraction.
