1990 Map of Mount Tebo

About this map

The Skokomish River and its South Fork carve a deep drainage through the Olympic Peninsula, anchoring a landscape dominated by the high peaks of the Olympic National Forest. This 1990 provisional survey documents a rugged interior before the full transition of modern land management, where remote water bodies like Spider Lake and Pine Lake sit tucked between steep ridges. The map highlights the protected high country of the Wonder Mountain Wilderness in the north, while the southern reaches track the headwaters of the Middle Fork Satsop River and the Canyon River. Prominent summits including Mount Tebo, Capitol Peak, and Mount Church provide critical orientation points for hikers and surveyors. The presence of a Borrow Pit suggests the ongoing maintenance of the few forest roads that penetrate this dense mountain terrain, illustrating the balance between resource access and wilderness preservation.
