About this map

Mt Washington and the southern reaches of the Olympic Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Jefferson and Mason counties. This modern topographic study reveals a terrain defined by glacial lakes and steep drainage basins, where the Hamma Hamma River and Lilliwaup Creek systems originate. The map illustrates a complex network of protected lands, showing how the Olympic National Park and Olympic Wilderness transition into the Mount Skokomish Wilderness and The Brothers Wilderness.

Backcountry access points are well-documented, including the Mt Ellinor Trailhead and routes like the Lena Lake Trl and Putvin Trl. Named water features such as Jefferson Lake, Scout Lake, and the small Lilliwaup Swamp provide critical reference points for understanding the hydrology of these peaks. The inclusion of the Natl Forest Develop Road 24 Rd highlights the infrastructure managed by the Olympic National Forest to support forest service operations and recreational access.
