About this map

Mt Anderson stands as a central massif in this section of Olympic National Park, surrounded by the high-elevation remnants of the Eel Glacier, Hanging Glacier, and Anderson Glacier. The topography is defined by the continental divide of the Olympic Mountains, where drainage systems diverge toward the Quinault River to the southwest and the Duckabush River to the southeast. These glacial headwaters create a landscape of steep basins and alpine passes, including Anderson Pass and O'Neil Pass.

Remote meadows and valleys serve as landmarks for travelers through this wilderness. Enchanted Valley and Honeymoon Meadows provide rare level ground amidst the summits of Mount Steel, White Mtn, and Mt LaCrosse. Notable water bodies such as Lake LaCrosse, Hart Lake, and Iceberg Lake are captured here at their 2017 levels, marking the seasonal water sources that feed the W Fork Dosewallips River and other critical tributaries.
