About this map

The Quinault River winds through the southern portion of this region, shaping the landscape near the Chow Chow Prairie in Grays Harbor County. This area is characterized by an intricate network of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) access routes, such as Bia RD 9300 and Bia RD 9100, which navigate the dense drainage systems of the Olympic Mountains. The terrain rises sharply toward the northeast, culminating at Thimble Mtn and the ridges overlooking the South Fork Salmon River.

Water serves as the primary geographic marker here, with numerous named tributaries including Crane Creek, Lunch Creek, and the curiously named Ten O'Clock Creek. The survey illustrates a modern landscape defined by managed forest access and riparian corridors, where the transition from river bottoms to mountainous heights is recorded through detailed topographic contours and a dense web of numbered service roads.
