About this map

Olympic National Park and the adjacent Olympic National Forest define this 1947 survey, capturing a primitive landscape of the Olympic Peninsula before modern development. The map traces the upper reaches of the Quinault River and its various forks, highlighting a network of remote infrastructure essential for early forest management and backcountry travel. Notable landmarks include the North Fork Ranger Station and several trailside refuges such as Sixmile Shelter and Wolf Bar Shelter.

Evidence of local industry and community appears at the southern edge of the sheet, where the Big Sawmill and the Muncaster Sch are located near the riverbank. High-altitude points of interest like Low Divide, which features L Mary and L Margaret, anchor the northern terrain. The presence of Chicago Camp and Graves Creek Inn suggests a period when recreational and official forest use relied on these specific, isolated outposts connected by the Skyline Trail.
