1950 Map of Mount Carrie

About this map

Olympic Hot Springs and its neighboring Campground serve as a central landmark in this mid-century survey of the high Olympics. The map details a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the depths of Deadmans Gulch to the towering peaks of the Bailey Range and Mount Carrie. A network of backcountry infrastructure is visible throughout the Olympic National Park boundary, including the Boulder Lake Shelter, Soleduck Shelter, and Heart Lake Shelter. These structures, alongside the Happy Lake Trail and Soleduck Trail, illustrate the established recreational use of the high country by 1950. The survey also documents the hydrology of the Seven Lakes Basin, showing the distribution of alpine waters such as Heart Lake, Haigs Lake, and Lake No 8 nestled against the High Divide.
