About this map

Olympic National Park defines this landscape in the heart of the Olympic Peninsula, where high-alpine peaks and glacial remnants feed major river systems. The quadrangle is anchored by Mt Anderson, which serves as a triple-divide point for the peninsula’s watersheds. From its slopes, the Eel Glacier and Anderson Glacier overlook the headwaters of the W Fork Dosewallips River and the Quinault River.

A network of historical backcountry routes, such as the O'Neil Pass Trail and the Home Sweet Home Trail, connects remote high-country landmarks like Honeymoon Meadows and First Divide. The terrain's dramatic elevation shifts are evident as the Enchanted Valley drops away from the southern peaks. These trails and water bodies, including Marmot Lake and Lake LaCrosse, reflect a landscape largely preserved from development, offering a clear view of the region's protected wilderness character.
