2017 Map of Mount Queets

About this map

Mount Queets and the high peaks of the Bailey Range dominate this portion of Olympic National Park, where the headwaters of several major river systems originate. The drainage patterns shown here reflect the high-altitude hydrology of the Olympic Mountains, including the Queets Glacier feeding the Queets River and the source waters of the Elwha River within the Elwha Basin. Notable topographic landmarks like Mt Ferry, Stephen Peak, and Mt Meany define the crests that separate these watersheds. This survey captures a landscape primarily defined by its natural features and protected status, with names like Dodwell-Rixon Pass and Bear Pass marking the few traversable routes through the high country. Isolated alpine features such as Cream Lake and Queets Basin provide specific points of interest for those studying the interior wilderness of the Olympic Peninsula.
