2017 Map of Mount Townsend

About this map

Mount Townsend and the surrounding high peaks of the Olympic Mountains dominate this 2017 survey of the border between Clallam and Jefferson counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of Buckhorn Mtn, Iron Mtn, and the towering Mt Constance within the boundaries of Olympic National Park. Human passage through this high country is marked by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which traverses the northern reaches near Tull Canyon and Silver Creek. Drainage systems like the Big Quilcene River and Tunnel Cr carve deep valleys between the massifs of Hamilton Mtn and Welch Peaks. Scattered alpine water bodies, including Buckhorn Lake, Silver Lake, and Harrison Lake, provide key landmarks for those navigating the protected wilderness of the Olympic National Forest.
