About this map

Olympic Hot Springs serves as a prominent landmark in the northern reaches of Olympic National Park, situated at the terminus of the Olympic Hot Springs Rd. This high-elevation survey illustrates the dramatic alpine hydrology of the Olympic Mountains, where the Sol Duc River and the Hoh River find their headwaters among towering peaks and remnant ice. The High Divide separates these major drainage systems, creating a notable geographic spine through the center of the sheet.

Outdoor heritage and technical topography are emphasized by the inclusion of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which traverses the Seven Lakes Basin and Appleton Pass. Glacial features such as the Carrie Glacier and Fairchild Glacier cling to the eastern slopes of Mount Carrie and Mt Fairchild, while dozens of alpine tarns like Blue Lake and Lake Number 8 dot the high basins. The map also delineates the boundary between Clallam and Jefferson Counties, cutting through the crest of the Bailey Range.
