2020 Map of Mount Hoquiam

About this map

Mt Hoquiam and Discovery Peak anchor this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of several major river systems originate. The map documents a complex drainage network within Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest, including the Quinault River, the Wynoochee River, and the S Fork Skokomish River. This modern survey details a backcountry accessible only by an extensive trail system, notably the E Fork Quinault River Trail and the Graves Creek Primitive Trail. The convergence of Jefferson and Grays Harbor counties occurs amidst these peaks, highlighting the area's isolation from major settlements. High-elevation water bodies like Lake Connie, Discovery Lake, and Lake Sundown are clearly defined, providing a precise record of the alpine hydrology at the time of the survey. The presence of the Cascading Terraces Nature Trail near the river indicates the managed recreational use of the valley floor below the steeper ridges.
