About this map

Olympic National Park defines the western half of this landscape, where the peaks of The Brothers and Mt Jupiter overlook a series of high-altitude waters including Lake Constance and Wild Cat Lake. The terrain is characterized by the deep drainages of the Dosewallips River and Duckabush River, where remote outposts like Camp Muscott and Elkhorn Camp provided essential shelter in the backcountry.

Along the eastern edge, the topography descends toward the saltwater of the Hood Canal, showing the transition from wilderness to early twentieth-century infrastructure. The Hamma Hamma Guard Sta and Webb Lookout represent the region's historical forestry management, while the presence of the John Ahl Sch near the shoreline indicates the localized settlement at Elden. Notable landmarks such as St Peters Dome and Big Hump offer a clear picture of the distinct mountain passes and ridges, like the Too Many Ridge Trail, that shaped movement through this part of the Olympic Peninsula.
