2014 Map of Hunger Mountain

About this map

The Olympic Mountains dominate this landscape, where the headwaters of several major river systems converge along the border of Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest. The map documents a rugged wilderness interior, characterized by the dramatic elevation changes of Hunger Mtn and Rugged Ridge. Backpackers and surveyors can trace the high-elevation route of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail as it winds through the southern half of the quadrangle. Strategic wilderness waypoints like Fifteenmile Shelter and Flapjack Shelter are noted, providing insight into the established trail networks that support exploration in this remote terrain. The drainage patterns are intricate, with the Sitkum River, S Fork Calawah River, and Bogachiel River carving through the steep topography, fed by numerous creeks such as Tumwater Cr and Warkum Cr.
