1990 Map of Mount Steel

About this map

Olympic National Park defines this 1990 survey, showing a landscape shaped by high-altitude glaciers and the headwaters of several major river systems. The map documents a network of primitive trails and backcountry shelters, such as the Duckabush Shelter and Home Sweet Home Shelter, which provided essential refuge for early wilderness travelers and rangers. Strategic mountain crossings like Anderson Pass and La Crosse Pass connect the drainage basins of the Dosewallips River, Quinault River, and Duckabush River. The presence of Eel Glacier and Anderson Glacier feeding into Iceberg Lake highlights the glaciated character of the Mount Anderson massif. For researchers of recreation history, the map preserves the location of historic stopping points like Two Bear Camp and the aptly named Honeymoon Meadows along the West Fork Dosewallips River.
