About this map

The Bailey Range and the high summits of the Olympic Mountains dominate this contemporary survey, capturing a landscape defined by glacial activity and high-altitude basins. The map provides clear documentation of the Queets Glacier and the Queets Basin, which serve as the headwaters for the Queets River. This region remains protected as part of Olympic National Park and the Olympic Wilderness, preserving a terrain that has seen little human infrastructure beyond traditional footpaths.

Tracing the hydrological patterns reveals the divergent paths of the Elwha River, Goldie River, and Hoh River as they drain from the central peaks. For those studying the geography of the peninsula, the map identifies specific high-country landmarks like Mount Meany, Mount Queets, and Mount Ferry. Navigation through these heights is recorded via established routes such as the Dodger Point Primitive Trl and the Ludden Peak Way Trl, which connect the remote Elwha Basin to surrounding ridges.
