2020 Map of McCartney Peak

About this map

Olympic National Park defines this landscape of high peaks and river headwaters at the border of Clallam and Jefferson counties. The topography is dominated by the massive presence of McCartney Peak and Mt Dana, with the Semple Plateau providing a rare break in the vertical relief. This area serves as a critical hydrological hub, where the Elwha River and Hayes River converge, fed by tributaries like Stony Creek and Godkin Creek. For researchers of backcountry history, the map provides an exact routing of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail as it traverses Press Valley and follows the ridges between the Lillian River and Goldie River. The presence of the Dodger Point Primitive Trail and the Elwha River Trail indicates the long-standing importance of this wilderness corridor for high-altitude passage through the Olympic interior.
