2014 Map of Wellesley Peak

About this map

Olympic National Park encompasses this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of major river systems emerge from glaciers and snowfields. The transition between Clallam and Jefferson counties is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Mt Cameron, Wellesley Peak, and Mt Fromme. Glacial activity is still evident on this 2014 survey, with both the Lillian Glacier and Cameron Glaciers shown nestled among the peaks. These ice fields feed the Lillian River and Cameron Cr, which carve through deep valleys toward the lower elevations. The map reveals the logistical network used by backcountry travelers, centering on high-elevation crossings like Gray Wolf Pass and Lost Pass. Historic waypoint features like Bear Camp and the expansive Thousand Acre Meadow suggest the long-standing use of these routes by those navigating the inner reaches of the peninsula's mountainous core.
