2017 Map of The Brothers

About this map

The Brothers stands as the defining summit in this 2017 survey of the Olympic Mountains, where the landscape transitions between the protected wilderness of Olympic National Park and the managed timberlands of Olympic National Forest. The map detail reveals an intricate network of alpine hydrology, including Lake Constance to the north and the cluster of Upper Lena Lake, Milk Lake, and Scout Lake further south. These high-elevation water bodies feed significant drainage systems like the Dosewallips River and the Duckabush River, which carve deep valleys such as Bull Elk Canyon. The distribution of natural features like Soda Springs and Wildcat Lake alongside trails such as the Upper Lena Lake path highlights the area's role as a primary destination for backcountry recreation. Researchers can trace the exact topography of the peaks and the various creek systems, including Lena Cr and Muscott Cr, that define this interior portion of the Olympic Peninsula.
