About this map

Olympic National Forest and the timber-rich lands of Clallam County are depicted here in the mid-1930s, showing a landscape defined by industrial forestry and family ranching. The map highlights the intensive logging infrastructure of the era, featuring the B. D. Log. RR. (Clallam & Southern Branch) and the Log. RR. Oalawan Main Line serving the region. Evidence of the First World War's legacy appears at the Government Spruce Camp (Abandoned), a remnant of the Spruce Production Division's efforts to secure timber for aircraft.

Settlements like Sappho, Beaver, and Tyee cluster along the Olympic Highway and the Soleduck River. Local industry is further represented by the Big Creek Shingle Mill near Old Royal. Numerous family sites, including Klahoose Ranch, Maxfield Ranch, and Nelson Ranch, indicate the era's rural habitation pattern. Landmarks such as Hoko Steel Bridge and the U S Weather Bureau provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
