About this map

The Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest boundary bisects this high-elevation wilderness, where the headwaters of several major Olympic Peninsula river systems emerge. The Bogachiel River and its North Fork dominate the central drainage, while the northern reaches of the sheet contain the upper Sol Duc River and South Fork Sol Duc River. These waterways are fed by numerous high-country tributaries including Alckee Creek and Hyak Creek.

Mountaineering and trekking landmarks are central to this landscape, most notably the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail as it winds through the peaks. Significant summits such as Slide Peak, Misery Peak, and Sugarloaf Mountain define the topography, alongside smaller alpine features like Ring Lake and Blackwood Lake. The map also captures the point of Low Divide, a critical geographic pass between major watersheds.
