1950 Map of Mount Carrie

About this map

Olympic Hot Springs and the high peaks of the Bailey Range define this mid-century look at the backcountry within Olympic National Park. The survey illustrates a complex network of glacial and river systems, including the Carrie Glacier and Fairchild Glacier feeding the upper reaches of the Hoh River. A well-established trail system for 1950 is mapped in detail, including the Happy Ridge Trail and the Soleduck Trail, which provided access to remote locations like the Seven Lakes Basin. Strategic mountain shelters, such as the Boulder Lake Shelter and Heart Lake Shelter, are noted along these routes, marking the infrastructure supporting early wilderness exploration. The map also delineates the Clallam and Jefferson County boundary line as it crosses the High Divide.
