2017 Map of Spruce Mountain

About this map

Hoh River and its South Fork Hoh River dominate this 2017 survey of the Olympic Peninsula wilderness. The landscape is defined by the convergence of Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest, where steep terrain climbs toward landmarks like Spruce Mountain Geodetic Hill and Huelsdonk Ridge. Human infrastructure in this densely forested region is concentrated along the river valleys, represented by the Upper Hoh Rd and the Huelsdonk Bridge. This map captures a modern snapshot of the timber and conservation landscape, detailing logging access routes like the Hoh Mainline and Rain Forest Rd as they navigate around the massive drainage systems of Tumwater Cr and Owl Cr. The intricate network of smaller tributaries, such as Hunger Cr and Dismal Cr, underscores the high-precipitation environment characteristic of this Pacific Northwest rainforest.
