2020 Map of Mount Deception

About this map

Mount Deception and the surrounding high country of the Olympic Peninsula are documented here in detail, showcasing the glaciated peaks and alpine basins that span the Clallam and Jefferson County line. The map highlights the primitive infrastructure of Olympic National Park and the adjacent Olympic National Forest, where drainage systems like the Dosewallips River and Dungeness River carve deep valleys into the landscape. Hikers and researchers can trace the modern routes of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail as it navigates between prominent landmarks such as Gray Wolf Ridge and Mount Constance. This 2020 survey illustrates a wilderness defined by its verticality, from the subalpine Sunnybrook Meadows to the high-elevation waters of Lake Constance and Royal Lake. The collection of peaks, including The Needles and Hal Foss Peak, provides a comprehensive look at the interior topography of the Olympics in the early twenty-first century.
