About this map

Sol Duc Hot Springs and the Soleduck Ranger Sta serve as the primary human outposts in this 1950s study of the high country within Olympic National Park. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage of the Soleduck River and the Bogachiel River, separated by the Bogachiel High Divide. In the eastern section, the Seven Lakes Basin is intricately mapped, showing a concentration of alpine waters including Lunch Lake, Round Lake, and Clear Lake.

Backcountry infrastructure is well-documented through a network of trails such as the Mink Lake Trail and the Hoh River Trail. Remote landmarks like the Canyon Creek Shelter and Deer Lake Shelter provide evidence of early park management and hiker accommodations. The map also records the precise location of Soleduck Falls and several peaks like Bogachiel Peak and Boulder Peak along the Clallam and Jefferson county line.
