About this map

Olympic National Park and the surrounding Olympic National Forest define this wilderness landscape as it was documented in the late 1940s. The map captures a high-elevation network of trails and backcountry shelters, such as the Wolf Bar Shelter, Rustler Shelter, and the Graves Creek Basin Shelter, supporting travel through the drainage basins of the North Fork Quinault River and the South Fork Quinault River.

Evidence of early mountain habitation and resource management is visible at the North Fork Guard Sta and the Graves Creek Guard Sta. While much of the terrain is centered on peaks like Mt Christie and Mt Lawson, local human activity is anchored by the Muncaster Sch and the Graves Creek Inn near the southern boundary. The presence of the Big Sawmill near the Quinault River points to the timber interests operating on the edge of the protected forest lands.
