2020 Map of Mount Christie

About this map

Low Divide serves as the central hydrologic and geographic pivot of this high-elevation wilderness within Olympic National Park. This pass separates the headwaters of the northward-flowing Elwha River from the southward-flowing N Fork Quinault River, a natural corridor that has historically facilitated travel across the Olympic interior. High alpine peaks dominate the landscape, including Mt Christie, Mt Seattle, and Mt Noyes. The map reveals a network of high-country routes including the Skyline Trail and Skyline Primitive Trail, alongside remote water bodies like Lake Mary and Lake Margaret. The concentration of trails at Low Divide underscores its significance as a critical junction for backcountry travel between the Quinault and Elwha watersheds.
