About this map

Olympic Hot Springs and its adjacent campground serve as a focal point for this 1950 field-checked survey of the high backcountry. The map documents a primitive infrastructure of wilderness shelters, including the Boulder Lake Shelter, Sevenmile Shelter, and Heart Lake Shelter, connected by a network of footpaths such as the Happy Lake Trail and Soleduck Trail.

The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Bailey Range and the High Divide, where permanent ice features like Carrie Glacier and Fairchild Glacier feed the headwaters of the Hoh River and Soleduck River. Topographic detail captures the complex glacial carved basins of the Seven Lakes Basin, illustrating the transition from timberline to the exposed rock of peaks like Mount Carrie and Mount Appleton along the Clallam and Jefferson County boundary.
