| Quinault - Colonel Bob updated: 1994 Scale 1:62,500 Contour Interval: 100 feet Includes National Forest |
The Quinault - Colonel Bob map includes the North Fork of the Quinault River, including Low Divide and the Skyline Trail in the southwest corner of Olympic National Park, as well as the Colonel Bob Wilderness in Olympic National Forest, in the Olympic Mountains in Washington State, USA.
It covers the North Fork Quinault and Skyline Trail Systems to and including Low Divide and the surrounding area, providing several loop trips. It covers the entire Colonel Bob Wilderness, and all it's trails (the only large scale topographic map to do so). It includes the campgrounds and nature trails in the Lake Quinault Area, and all the roads leading into the mountains from there, both to North Fork and Graves Creek.

Special Features:
Trails are more accurate and up-to-date than any other published map we are aware of. This area was mapped especially poorly on previous maps. This is the only single large scale topographic map of the Colonel Bob Wilderness, (it's at the intersection of four quads.) Quinault - Colonel Bob is one of four Custom Correct (tm) maps that have been adopted by the Olympic National Forest as their official Wilderness Maps. Rather than create a separate map series at taxpayer expense, the US Forest Service chose the best maps on the market, and contracted to place their Wilderness information on the back. This special relationship has continued since 1986. Woodland shading has been updated from recent 7.5 minute maps (where available) and recent photos elsewhere to more accurately show vegetation patterns near timberline, as well as wildfires and other changes not shown on USGS or other commercial maps. Map coordinates are placed on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), and UTM coordinates are shown compatible with the National Coordinate System. |
