2011 Map of Mount Skokomish

About this map

Staircase and the North Fork Skokomish River serve as the primary landmarks in this 2011 survey of the Olympic Peninsula high country. The map illustrates a landscape defined by deep glaciated valleys and sharp peaks, where modern recreational infrastructure like Staircase Campground sits alongside vestiges of earlier mountain industry such as the Darky Mine near Camp Pleasant. The elevation changes are dramatic, climbing from the northern reach of Lake Cushman to the high summits of Mount Skokomish, Mount Cruiser, and Mount Stone. Notable water bodies including Flapjack Lakes and Mildred Lakes are nestled below the jagged Sawtooth Ridge, while the Hamma Hamma River drains the eastern slopes toward the Sound. The presence of remote outposts like Nine Stream Camp underscores the area's character as a gateway for backcountry navigation and historic surveying.
