About this map

Olympic National Park defines this 2017 survey, where high-altitude ridges and glacial river systems converge in Clallam County. The map provides an intricate look at the Olympic Mountains, dominated by the massif of Mount Angeles and the prominent Hurricane Ridge. The landscape is a network of steep drainages, including the Lillian River and Morse Cr, which cut through the high country. Long-established access routes like Heart O The Hills Rd and Obstruction Point Rd navigate the contours of Klahhane Ridge and Sunrise Ridge.

Hikers and researchers can trace the high-elevation path of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail as it winds past peaks such as Steeple Rock, Eagle Point, and Obstruction Peak. The survey also documents smaller landmarks like Cox Valley and the remote Pj Lake. This modern record details the intersection of recreation and preservation in the northern Cascades, illustrating the complex vertical geography from the Elwha River valley to the summit of Windfall Peak.
