1984 Map of West of Pysht

About this map

The Strait of Juan de Fuca defines the northern shoreline of this coastal landscape, where the Olympic Peninsula meets the sea in a series of wooded ridges and deep drainages. In the southern half of the map, the Olympic National Forest encompasses the high ground around Burnt Mountain, a prominent landmark that influences the local watershed. The drainage network is particularly dense here, dominated by the Pysht River and its various tributaries, including the South Fork and Salmonberry Creek. Resource extraction and land management are evident through the presence of industrial sites like the Barrow Pit and Gravel Pit, which reflect the area's development during the late 1970s and early 1980s. A network of unimproved roads and trails winds through the forest, connecting the upland terrain to the coast.
