1938 Map of Mt Constance

About this map

Olympic National Park and the surrounding national forest lands dominate this 1930s topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by its glaciated peaks and the network of back-country camps that served early explorers. The map details a transition from the saltwater shoreline of Hood Canal at Eldon to the high alpine environments of the interior, where Lillian Glacier and Anderson Glacier crown the Divide. Evidence of early 20th-century industry is found at the Tubal Cain Mine and Garry Mine, while the administrative presence of the era is marked by numerous remote outposts like the Hamma Hamma Guard Sta and Elkhorn Guard Sta. The drainage systems of the Quinault River and Lillian River provide the primary corridors through the high country, connecting deep basins like Enchanted Valley to the lowlands.
