2011 Map of Mount Deception

About this map

Mount Deception and Mount Constance anchor this high-elevation landscape in the eastern Olympic Mountains. The drainage system is defined by the headwaters of the Dungeness River, which flows north, and the Dosewallips River to the south. This terrain is characterized by deep basins and sharp ridges, including the Gray Wolf Ridge and the Royal Basin. Sparse human infrastructure is limited to backcountry points like Royal Creek Cabin, Camp Handy, and the Boulder Shelter, reflecting the area's protected wilderness status. These sites, along with the trail-accessible Marmot Pass, emphasize the region's importance for early 21st-century conservation and recreation. Notable alpine features such as Lake Constance, Royal Lake, and the Sunnybrook Meadows are documented alongside jagged summits like Hal Foss Peak and The Needles.
