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, and is inconveniently cut-up by quad boundaries. Many trails and popular cross-country routes would have required at least two quads. Several trails were previously unmapped. Mount Skokomish - Lake Cushman puts them all conveniently and accurately on one map with no compromise in scale or detail. Lake Cushman and Lake Kokanee are both shown in their entirety, and include depth countours showing the shape of the lake bottom. National Forest Roads are up-to-date, with current road numbers. Private land is identified with a shading pattern. Mount Skokomish - Lake Cushman 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 aerial photos and 7.5 minute maps to more accurately show vegetation patterns near timberline, as well as timber harvest patterns, wildfires and other changes not shown on USGS or other commercial maps. . |
