About this map

Mount Hoquiam rises at the intersection of three counties in this 1990 provisional survey, marking a significant high point where Jefferson, Mason, and Grays Harbor counties meet. This wilderness landscape within the Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest is defined by the headwaters of major drainage systems, including the North Fork Quinault River and the Wynoochee River.

Evidence of backcountry infrastructure appears at the Graves Creek Ranger Station and nearby Wolf Bar Campsite, which serve as gateways to the steep high-country terrain. High-altitude basins contain several named bodies of water, such as Lake Connie and Discovery Lake, while crucial alpine transit points like Wynoochee Pass and Sundown Pass indicate the traditional routes used to navigate between the river valleys. The map captures the specialized topography of the Olympic interior before the era of widespread digital mapping, focusing on peaks like Discovery Peak and various tributaries like Chikamin Creek.
