1950 Map of Elwha
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Elwha River canyon and the surrounding Olympic wilderness are documented here in the early 1950s, a period before significant modern changes to the river system. The map captures the hydroelectric infrastructure of the day, including the Olympic Power Plant and the Upper Elwha Dam, which created reservoirs like Lake Aldwell and Lake Mills. Settlement is concentrated along the Olympic Highway and north toward Port Angeles, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks and the Clallam County Airport are located.
