2023 Map of Hunger Mountain

About this map

Olympic National Park and the adjacent Olympic Wilderness dominate this western Washington landscape, where the high ridges of the Olympic Mountains give rise to a complex network of glacial and snowmelt drainage. The map centers on the headwaters and tributaries of major coastal river systems, including the westward-flowing Bogachiel River and the South Fork Calawah River. This modern survey illustrates a heavily protected backcountry defined by topographic extremes rather than permanent settlements. High-elevation landmarks like Hunger Mtn and the appropriately named Rugged Ridge divide the steep valleys. Human access is primarily represented by historical and recreational footpaths, most notably the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl and the South Snyder-Jackson Primitive Trl, which follow the natural contours and riverbanks of the Olympic National Forest.
