2020 Map of Sekiu River

About this map

Shipwreck Point and the coastal reach of Chito Beach define the shoreline of the Salish Sea in this coastal Washington landscape. The drainage network of the Sekiu River is the primary geographic driver here, with its N Fork Sekiu River and S Fork Sekiu River carving through the northern foothills of the Olympic Mountains. A network of timber-access routes, including 1000 Main Line Rd and Sekiu River Rd, crisscrosses the elevation contours between numerous small drainages like Olsen Cr and Carpenters Cr. The map illustrates a modern era of industrial forestry and coastal geography where the proximity of the high peaks to the sea creates a steep, water-carved terrain, typical of the Olympic Peninsula's rugged northwestern edge.
