1990 Map of Mount Deception

About this map

The high peaks of the Olympic Peninsula define this landscape at the intersection of Olympic National Park, Olympic National Forest, and the Buckhorn Wilderness. Dominated by the soaring elevations of Mount Deception and Mount Constance, the topography showcases the drainage systems of the Dungeness River and the Dosewallips River. High-altitude waypoints for backcountry travelers are documented throughout, including Camp Handy and Boulder Shelter, alongside distinctive landmarks like The Needles and Marmot Pass. The transition between protected wilderness areas and the national park is clearly delineated, following ridges like Gray Wolf Ridge and watercourses such as Royal Creek. Remote alpine lakes, including Royal Lake, Lake Constance, and the Charlie Lakes, are captured here at the turn of the 1990s, providing a technical record of the glaciated terrain and high-country hydrology.
