About this map

Lake Mills dominates the northern landscape of this Olympic Peninsula survey, where the Elwha River carves through deep geological formations. The river’s path is marked by dramatic terrain features including Goblins Gate and the steep walls of Rica Canyon. Small outposts of human activity appear at Michaels Ranch and Humes Ranch within the Geyser Valley, while the higher elevations of the Bailey Range are defined by the Fairchild Glacier and Mt Fitzhenry.

Tracing the network of footpaths like the Long Ridge Trail and Lillian River Trail reveals the early backcountry infrastructure of Olympic National Park. These trails connect remote landmarks such as the Lillian Shelter and the lookout at Dodger Point, providing a record of the primitive access routes through the river canyons and alpine ridges before modern development. The mapping of Winslow Spring and Whiskey Bend highlights specific points of interest for those studying the early history of this wilderness region.
