About this map

McCartney Peak and the surrounding Olympic wilderness are defined by a complex network of high-elevation drainages and isolated backcountry sites as they appeared in 2011. The Elwha River serves as the central artery, carving through the terrain where it is joined by the Goldie River, Hayes River, and Godkin Creek. The distribution of established locations such as Stony Point Camp, Tipperary Camp, Chateau Camp, and Camp Wilder indicates a landscape primarily utilized for forest management or recreational transit rather than permanent settlement.

Deep glacial valleys and prominent summits characterize the topography, including Mount Dana, South Dana, and Mount Norton. The presence of Press Valley and high-altitude water bodies like Lake Lillian and Frog Lake suggests a rugged environment where natural features remain the primary landmarks. This survey provides a record of the drainage patterns of Stony Creek, Lost River, and Leitha Creek, capturing the hydrologic character of the region before significant environmental or management shifts.
