2020 Map of West of Pysht

About this map

Olympic National Forest and the northern foothills of the Olympic Mountains dominate this coastal landscape on the Olympic Peninsula. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Pysht River and its major tributary, the S Fork Pysht River, which drain north toward the Salish Sea. Historically significant transportation routes, such as the Old Sappho Pysht Hwy and Burnt Mountain Rd, wind through the timberlands, providing access to elevations like Burnt Mtn. The presence of the M R Tree Farm indicates the region's ongoing connection to the timber industry, while numerous named creeks like Salmonberry Cr and Pearson Cr illustrate the complex drainage patterns of this high-rainfall environment. This map captures the intersection of industrial forestry and protected federal wilderness along Washington's northern coast.
