About this map

Mount Townsend stands as a prominent high point on this Jefferson County topographic study, marking a landscape defined by the overlapping boundaries of the Buckhorn Wilderness, Olympic National Forest, and Olympic National Park. The drainage of the Big Quilcene River carves through the center of the sheet, supported by a network of tributaries like Tunnel Creek and Wet Weather Creek.

Backcountry infrastructure is well-documented through several designated sites for travelers, including Tenmile Shelter, Tunnel Creek Shelter, and Camp Mystery. High-altitude water bodies such as Silver Lake, Buckhorn Lake, and Harrison Lake are distributed across the terrain, connected by the extensive Pack Trail network. The map captures the complex topographical relief between peaks like Buckhorn Mountain and the Welch Peaks, showing the intersection of Clallam and Jefferson counties.
