About this map

Sawtooth Ridge and a series of prominent peaks define this landscape on the boundary of Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park. The topography is dominated by massive summits, including Mt Skokomish, Mt Henderson, and Mt Cruiser, which tower over a network of high-altitude basins. A complex system of alpine water bodies, such as the Flapjacks Lakes, Murdock Lakes, and the Lake of the Angels, feeds into the N Fork Skokomish River and the Hamma Hamma River.

Staircase Rapids marks a key transition point near the northern tip of Lake Cushman, where the N Fork Skokomish River Trail and Shady Lane Trail provide access to the interior. This 2020 survey records the intricate network of primitive paths, including the Black and White Lakes Primitive Trail and Putvin Primitive Trail, which connect the isolated peaks and passes. The map also delineates the Jefferson and Mason county line as it traverses the high ridges near Mt Stone.
