1956 Map of La Push

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Quileute Indian Res serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the Pacific coast, centered on the village of La Push. The landscape is dominated by the confluence of the Quillayute River, Solebuck River, and Bogachiel River, which meet just inland from the rocky shoreline. The presence of the Quillayute Outlying Naval Field and a nearby Gravel Pit indicates a post-war shift toward infrastructure and military utility in this previously secluded region. Along the rugged coast, markers like the Chilean Memorial Mon and Giants Graveyard highlight a coastline defined by dangerous waters and maritime history. Inland, the transition from agricultural areas like Little Prairie to industrial features like the Logging RR Road illustrates the era's reliance on both the soil and the timber stands of Olympic National Park.
