1999 Map of Wellesley Peak

About this map

Olympic National Park defines the high-altitude landscape of this Jefferson County interior, centered on the Wellesley Peak and Mount Cameron massifs. The terrain is characterized by massive ice and water features, including the Cameron Glaciers and the headwaters of the Lillian River, Gray Wolf River, and Dosewallips River. High passes like Grand Pass and Hayden Pass link the deep drainage basins, while extensive subalpine clearings such as Dose Meadow and Thousand Acre Meadow suggest the seasonal migration patterns of wildlife and early backcountry travelers. Backcountry shelters and established sites such as Bear Camp and Camp Marion dot the trails, reflecting the preservation of this wilderness for recreation. The presence of Sentinels Sister and Mount Fromme further illustrates the complex geology of the Olympic interior before the turn of the millennium.
