About this map

The Brothers stands as the defining topographic feature of this Jefferson County wilderness, marking a stark transition within the Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest. The landscape is carved by the Dosewallips River and the Duckabush River, which create deep drainage basins separated by high ridges like Mt Lena. This modern survey documents an intricate network of backcountry routes, including the Dosewallips River Trail and the Duckabush River Trail, which provide the only access to high-elevation water bodies such as Lake Constance and Upper Lena Lake.

The presence of specialized labels like the Dosewallips Terrace Nature Trail and the Dosewallips Closed Road reflects the ongoing management and preservation of these public lands. From the depths of Bull Elk Canyon to the shores of Wildcat Lake, the map captures a primitive environment where named features are almost exclusively geographical or hydrological, signifying a region largely untouched by permanent settlement.
