About this map

Mt Jupiter Lookout and Deer Park Lookout anchor this high-altitude survey of the eastern Olympics during the mid-1930s. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Dosewallips River, Duckabush River, and Hamma Hamma River, which flow eastward toward the Hood Canal shoreline near the settlement of Eldon. At this time, the boundary between the Olympic National Forest and the newly established Olympic National Park illustrates the region's shift toward conservation.

Evidence of earlier industry remains visible at the Tubal Cain Mine and Barry Mine, while the Cushman Reservoir in the south reflects the era's infrastructure development. Mountaineers and local historians can trace the high peaks from Mt Constance to Mt Anderson, along with several glaciers and alpine water bodies like Lake Constance. The network of drainages including Gray Wolf River and Cameron Creek reveals the deep carving of the interior peninsula before modern road access expanded.
