About this map

Sol Duc Hot Springs and the Soleduck Ranger Sta. anchor the northwestern corner of this mid-century survey, marking a primary entry point into the wilderness. The terrain is defined by the sharp separation between three major river systems: the Soleduck River, the Bogachiel River, and the Hoh River. A complex network of trails, including the Soleduck Trail and Hoh Trail, facilitates movement through the high country, connecting several remote outposts like the Canyon Creek Shelter and Olympus Guard Sta.

A striking concentration of high-elevation water bodies appears in the Seven Lakes Basin, where Lunch Lake and Morganroth Lake sit beneath the shadows of Bogachiel Peak. The map provides specific detail for backcountry travelers and historians, noting features such as Soleduck Falls and the Lookout Tower on the High Divide, illustrating the 1950s infrastructure used to manage and monitor this portion of Olympic National Park.
