2011 Map of Owl Mountain

About this map

The Hoh River and its southern fork dominate this terrain as they flow westward through the Olympic Peninsula’s dense river valleys. Access into this wild landscape is limited to the Upper Hoh Rd along the northern bank, leading toward the Hoh Campground. The topography is defined by the significant rise of Owl Mountain in the south, where numerous tributaries like Owl Creek drain toward the South Fork Hoh River. This 2011 survey documents the infrastructure provided for back-country navigation, including the Big Flat Shelter and Mount Tom Shelter, alongside the South Fork Hoh Campground. These markers indicate a landscape managed for recreation and preservation, where the glacial-fed waters of Mineral Creek and Jackson Creek meet the primary river systems in a deeply carved drainage pattern.
