1950 Map of Lake Crescent

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Lake Crescent serves as the central focal point of this mid-century landscape, surrounded by the protected wilderness of Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest. The map documents a transition in transportation, showing the Old Railroad Grade winding along the northern shore through Ovington and Piedmont. Small settlements and seasonal destinations like Fairholm and Gettysburg Ranch dot the coastline of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which defines the northern boundary of the sheet. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into high peaks such as Pyramid Mtn, Sourdough Mtn, and Aurora Peak. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the Soleduck River and its forks, as well as numerous creeks like Murdock Creek and Whisky Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Olympic Peninsula before modern development altered these remote corridors.
