2014 Map of Wynoochee Lake

About this map

Wynoochee Lake dominates the southern landscape of this 2014 survey, a reservoir managed within the high country of the Olympic National Forest. The map documents a rugged wilderness where the Olympic Mountains rise toward Three Peaks and Mt Church, transitionary peaks along the border of Olympic National Park. This era of the landscape is defined by a complex network of forest development roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 2300 Rd, which provide access to high-altitude landmarks like the Anderson Butte Lookout. Waterways including the Wynoochee River and W Fork Satsop River drain these steep slopes, feeding into localized basins such as Beaver Flat and the clustered Satsop Lakes. The presence of the Wynoochee Shelter and various remote lake systems highlights the area's role as a managed recreational and timber resource at the start of the 21st century.
