About this map

Olympic National Park and the Olympic National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape within the Olympic Mountains. The map traces the headwaters and upper reaches of significant regional waterways, including the Bogachiel River and its N Fork, as well as the Sol Duc River in the northern sector. This terrain is characterized by sharp elevation changes and named peaks such as Slide Peak, Misery Peak, and the distinctively titled Sore Thumb.

Modern recreational corridors are represented by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which winds through the central portion of the quadrangle past Ring Lake and Blackwood Lake. Access to the interior is limited to forest service routes like Nat For Dev Rd 2918, reflecting the area's protected status. The boundary between Clallam and Jefferson Counties runs across the southern portion of the sheet, cutting through the river valleys.
