About this map

Wynoochee Lake dominates the central terrain of this 1990 provisional survey, held back by the Wynoochee Dam at its southern end. The map details a landscape managed for both timber and recreation within the Olympic National Forest, transitioning northward into the protected wilderness of Olympic National Park. The reservoir's shoreline features public access points like the Coho Campground Boat Ramp and a nearby picnic area and gaging station.

Away from the water, the topography rises sharply toward Three Peaks and Anderson Butte. The drainage patterns are intricate, with the Wynoochee River and its many tributaries, such as Eleanor Creek and Trout Creek, cutting through the timbered slopes. Recreational infrastructure is evidenced by the Wynoochee Falls Campground and the East Fork Humptulips River Trail on the western edge, illustrating the area's role as a late-20th-century hub for backcountry access.
