1995 Map of Mount Zion

About this map

The Dungeness River and Gray Wolf River carve through this section of the Olympic Peninsula, defining a landscape dominated by the protected reaches of the Olympic National Forest and the Buckhorn Wilderness. This mid-1990s revision captures a network of high-elevation ridges and deep creek drainages, including the aptly named Dirty Face Ridge and Three O'Clock Ridge. Human footprints in this terrain are primarily found along established trails and forest roads, marked by landmarks like the Gold Creek Shelter and Silver Creek Shelter. The summit of Mount Zion stands as a prominent point in the east, while the Lovella WC settlement provides a rare point of administrative or residential activity near the northern boundary. Numerous quarries dot the hillsides, indicating local extraction efforts amid the heavy timber and drainage systems of Jimmycomelately Creek and Gold Creek.
