2011 Map of Mount Carrie

About this map

Olympic Hot Springs and the high glaciated peaks of the Olympic Range define this mountainous landscape in the early 21st century. The map tracks the headwaters of major river systems, including the Hoh River, the Sol Duc River, and the North Fork Sol Duc River, showing the drainages that flow from the permanent ice of Carrie Glacier and Fairchild Glacier. The survey documents the high-elevation trail network and primitive infrastructure of the region, marking remote waypoints such as the Boulder Lake Shelter, Sevenmile Shelter, and Heart Lake Shelter. From the prominent High Divide to the summit of Mount Carrie, the terrain is characterized by steep ridges like Crystal Ridge and deep alpine lakes including Boulder Lake, Oyster Lake, and Heart Lake. The placement of Boulder Creek Campground near the hot springs illustrates the area's long-standing use as a destination for backcountry travel and recreation.
