2023 Map of Uncas

About this map

Discovery Bay anchors the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the settlements of Discovery Junction and Uncas sit near the water's edge. The terrain transitions from the shoreline into the heavily forested slopes of the Olympic National Forest, punctuated by significant elevations like Big Skidder Hill and Little Skidder Hill. This area is defined by a complex network of forest development roads and trails, including the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl, which winds through the high country. In the southern portion of the map, the landscape shifts toward a series of freshwater bodies, including Leland Lake, Crocker Lake, and the high-elevation Lords Lake. These lakes are connected by a web of drainages such as Snow Creek, Cedar Creek, and the Little Quilcene River, illustrating the watershed patterns that sustain the peninsula's ecosystem and its scattered communities like Leland.
