2014 Map of Mount Tom

About this map

The high peaks and glacial drainages of the Olympic Mountains dominate this survey within the protected boundaries of Olympic National Park. This dramatic vertical landscape is centered on Mt Tom and the nearby Hoh Peak, where the ice of White Glacier feeds into a network of steep watercourses. The northern portion of the quadrangle follows the path of the Hoh River, a major glacial waterway, where the remote Happy Four Shelter provides one of the few named structures in this wilderness. To the south, the South Fork Hoh River and its tributaries, including Slate Cr and Lake Cr, carve through the terrain. The presence of Dragon Lake high in the mountain basins illustrates the classic alpine topography of this region, characterized by high-elevation lakes and perennial snowfields that remain largely untouched by modern development.
