About this map

Wynoochee Lake dominates this mid-1990s landscape, its waters contained by the Wynoochee Dam at the southern end. This high-elevation reservoir is surrounded by the dense timberlands of the Olympic National Forest, with the northern reaches of the map transitioning into the protected wilderness of Olympic National Park. The survey illustrates a managed wilderness where recreational and industrial infrastructure meet, featuring the Boat Ramp and small settlements like Chetwoot and Coho along the shoreline.

Tracing the path of the Wynoochee River north reveals Wynoochee Falls, while the eastern terrain is marked by the Satsop Lakes and the headwaters of the Satsop River. A network of forest roads, including the Quinault Hood Canal Rd, provide access through steep drainages like Eleanor Creek and Scatter Creek. These features highlight the importance of water management and forest access in this part of Grays Harbor County during the late 20th century.
