1990 Map of Wynoochee Valley NW

About this map

The Wynoochee River winds through the eastern portion of this quadrangle, forming deep meanders and oxbows within its valley. This 1990 provisional map documents a region defined by commercial and conservation land use, including the extensive Olympic State Wildlife Area. The western half of the map is dominated by the intricate drainage systems of the Wishkah River, including its East Fork and West Fork. Human activity is concentrated along these waterways, with the presence of a Fish Hatchery and several resource extraction sites like a Borrow Pit and Quarry. The terrain is characterized by numerous small tributaries such as Big River, Carter Creek, and Helm Creek feeding into the primary river systems. A lone Footbridge provides a rare crossing point, emphasizing the character of this timber and wildlife management landscape.
