About this map

Olympic National Park defines the high-altitude landscape of this mid-century survey, spanning the transition from Clallam to Jefferson County. The map documents a network of backcountry infrastructure including Elkhorn Guard Sta and Hayes River Guard Sta, alongside primitive shelters and campsites such as Chateau Camp and Marys Falls Camp. High alpine features are prominent, most notably the Lillian Glacier clinging to the slopes of McCartney Peak.

The drainage patterns of the Elwha River, Lillian River, and Dosewallips River dictate the historical trail routes shown. Substantial open areas like Thousand Acre Meadow and Dose Meadow provide clear landmarks within the heavily forested and glaciated terrain. This edition preserves the location of remote cabins and landmarks like Steeple Rock and Eagle Point as they were situated during the early decades of the park's management.
