2011 Map of Lake Pleasant

About this map

Beaver and Sappho serve as the primary hubs in this Olympic Peninsula landscape, where the confluence of the Sol Duc River and various mountain creeks defines the local geography. The map documents a region heavily influenced by the timber and resource industries, evidenced by the numerous extraction sites such as the Sappho Quarry, Mary Clark Quarry, and the Beaver Sand and Gravel Quarry. Local infrastructure supports both the community and the environment, featuring the Beaver Post Office and the Soleduck Salmon Hatchery. The presence of large open spaces like Tyee Prairie and Beaver Prairie suggests a break in the dense forest canopy, providing distinct landmarks alongside the waters of Lake Pleasant. This 2011 record details the network of forest service roads, including the Olympic National Forest Rd, that permeate the hills between Tyee Hill and Calawah Ridge, mapping the modern footprint of these historic logging communities.
