About this map

Wynoochee Lake dominates the central landscape of this territory where the Wynoochee River is harnessed within the bounds of the Olympic National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Eleanor Creek and Sixteen Creek, which drain the surrounding Olympic Mountains. This modern survey reveals a highly managed wilderness area, where recreational infrastructure such as the Wynoochee Loop and the Upper Satsop Trailhead provides access to remote high points like Mt Church and Three Peaks.

The eastern portion of the map highlights the transition into Mason County, marked by the Satsop Lakes and the headwaters of the West Fork Satsop River. This area illustrates the contemporary balance between protected federal lands, including the southern edge of Olympic National Park, and the logistical roads necessary for forest management and backcountry access. Local landmarks like Beaver Flat and Hunter Flat offer distinct breaks in the steep, timbered terrain that characterizes this corner of Washington.
