About this map

Lake Crescent dominates this portion of the Olympic Peninsula, where the deep waters are framed by steep slopes and a complex shoreline of named points. Small lakeside settlements and landings like Piedmont, Crescent, and Ovington dot the northern shore, connected by Camp David Junior Rd and E Beach Rd. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Olympic Mountains, featuring prominent heights such as Sourdough Mtn and Aurora Peak.

Conservation and recreation define the landscape, as the boundary between the Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park bisects the region. Notable landmarks include the Marymere Falls and the jagged Pyramid Mtn overlooking the water. The map also traces the headwaters of the Lyre River and the N Fork Sol Duc River, illustrating the high-elevation drainage patterns that characterize this glaciated Pacific Northwest environment.
