1995 Map of Uncas

About this map

Discovery Bay indents the northern coastline of this Olympic Peninsula landscape, where the settlements of Maynard and Uncas sit near the mouth of Snow Creek. Much of the quadrangle is defined by the steep, timbered slopes of the Olympic National Forest, punctuated by landmarks like Big Skidder Hill and Little Skidder Hill. These names suggest the region's logging heritage, while the presence of the Uncas Sch and the southern settlement of Leland indicate established rural communities along the valley floor. Transportation and water management are central to the area's layout, with the Olympic Highway tracing the eastern edge past Crocker Lake and a Gaging Sta monitoring the local hydrology. Further south, the terrain descends toward Lords Lake and the Little Quilcene River, showing the transition from mountain foothills to the lowland lakes of eastern Jefferson County.
