1946 Map of Mt. Angeles

About this map

Deer Park Lookout and a network of remote backcountry camps define this mid-century survey of the high Olympics. Mapped just after the war, the terrain reveals a landscape of logistical outposts and wilderness shelters, including Elkhorn Guard Sta, Drums Cabin, and Remanns Cabin. The drainage of the Elwha River and Lillian River dominates the western half, while the eastern reaches are marked by the Dosewallips River and high alpine features like the Cameron Glacier and Lillian Glacier. Historical camps such as Camp Baltimore, Tipperary Camp, and Waterhole Camp are plotted along these river valleys and ridges, serving as markers for early 20th-century forest management and recreation. The transition between the Olympic National Forest and the interior Olympic National Park is clearly delineated, showing the administrative boundaries during a period of significant land conservation in the Pacific Northwest.
