2017 Map of Mount Zion

About this map

Olympic National Forest land defines the character of this mountain quadrangle, dominated by the peaks and drainages of the eastern Olympic Mountains. The high ground of Mount Zion and Bear Mtn rises above a dense network of forest service roads and established wilderness paths, including a significant stretch of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail. The landscape is carved by deep valleys like Sleepy Hollow and the headwaters of several key waterways including the Dungeness River, Jimmycomelately Cr, and the Little Quilcene River. Evidence of land management and surveying is visible through various numbered forest development roads and the distinct demarcations of PB 40 and other protraction blocks. Notable landmarks such as Bon Jon Pass and Schmith Knob serve as critical navigation points for those tracing the historic routes through these high-elevation corridors.
