1957 Map of Mount Tom

About this map

The Soleduck River and Bogachiel River headwaters dominate this mid-century look at the high wilderness along the Clallam and Jefferson County line. The map highlights a remote network of trails and backcountry infrastructure within Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest, including numerous high-altitude refuges like the Soleduck Shelter and the Happy Four Shelter. Near the northern border, Soleduck Hot Springs and Eagle G S mark early points of access into the interior, while the massive Mt Tom and Bogachiel Pk define the high ridgelines. The concentration of backcountry shelters such as Twenty One Mile Shelter and Big Flat Shelter illustrates the established trail system used by forest rangers and early hikers to navigate the river forks and glacial basins of the peninsula.
