About this map

Hunger Mountain stands at the center of this 1990s Olympic Peninsula survey, where the dense drainage networks of the northern rainforest meet the high divides. The map documents a significant intersection of public lands, clearly demarcating the National Forest National Park Boundary that separates the Olympic National Forest from Olympic National Park. This boundary follows the high spine of Rugged Ridge, a major geographical feature that dictates the flow of numerous waterways including the Sitkum River and the South Fork Calawah River.

The southern edge of the quadrangle follows the Bogachiel River, crossing the Clallam Co Jefferson Co line. For those tracing the history of wilderness access, the presence of the Hyak Shelter and various forest trails provide evidence of back-country recreation and land management during the late twentieth century. Smaller tributaries like Winfield Creek and Fraker Creek carve through the steep terrain, illustrating the complex topography of this protected Washington landscape.
