1999 Map of Mount Christie

About this map

Olympic National Park defines this landscape, centered on the high divide where the Elwha River and the North Fork Quinault River systems originate. The terrain is marked by significant summits including Mount Christie, Mount Noyes, and Mount Seattle, creating a dramatic vertical environment. Human presence is limited to backcountry infrastructure that supports wilderness navigation, notably the Low Divide Ranger Station and isolated outposts like Chicago Camp and Twelvemile Shelter. The hydrologic pattern is intricate, with high-altitude basins holding Lake Mary, Lake Margaret, and Martins Lakes. This provisional survey documents the drainage network of Geoduck Creek and Rustler Creek as they feed the primary river valleys, providing a precise record of the trail-accessible interior before modern digital shifts.
