About this map

Uncas and the southern reach of Port Discovery anchor this Olympic Peninsula landscape, where maritime geography meets heavily forested ridges. The coastal settlements of Maynard and Discovery Bay mark the northern transition to the inlet, while the interior is defined by a complex drainage system including Salmon Creek and Snow Creek. The terrain rises sharply to Mount Chatham and Big Skidder Hill, separated from the lowlands by Cedar Flat.

A distinct corridor of activity follows the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where Crocker Lake and Leland Lake provide recreational and ecological focal points. Infrastructure like the Lords Lake Dam and a network of National Forest Development roads, such as Nat For Dev RD 2905, illustrate the area's management for both water resources and timber. To the south, the Little Quilcene River cuts through the topography near the community of Leland, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to freshwater systems and valley agriculture.
