I am looking for a map that shows the tribal boundaries for the QIN North of Hwy 101 from Prairie Creek road to the West Boundary road.

I drive this area alot scouting and mushrooming, but you are never quite sure where you are. I have checked the Atlas and Gazetter as well as a ONF map. Any help would be great.

RW - You may want to call the Tribe @ 360 276 8215 and ask for the map. It's a tough one to find the boundaries and because of one particular river that is open to all (in stretches), boundary markers do no last long. But you don't want to make a mistake and end up in the Taholah jail.

Thanks, tried that and was treated rudely.

Earlier in the week I emailed QIN Natural Recourses and have yet to get a response.

Yesterday I called QIN NR and was told that "no way" was I getting a map "for any reason" if I "was not a member". The person I spoke to must have been new as two people in the background were feeding him lines (and laughing).

I have emailed a Manager at the Administrator's office and my request has been been forwarded to yet another person..

Why does it have to be so hard?

I did pick up a new (to me) ONF map and it is pretty close to what is out there.

For anyone interested:

You can purchase a "general public" map for $10. You can either mail a check or money order made out to the Quinault Indian Nation" and drop it in the mail:
Pauline Capoeman,
QDNR, Bldg. "C",
Taholah, WA 98587
or if you're in the area, stop by to purchase
this map.

Just wondering, if Washington St. D.N.R. could provide a free map.

The WA State Public Lands Quadrangle has the boundaries, but you need 4 different maps ( which I picked up today).

Here's a couple of online resources:
