1924 Map of Mt Rainier

About this map

Mount Rainier National Park dominates this 1920s landscape, providing a detailed look at the glacial systems and early administrative infrastructure of the high Cascades. The survey captures the intricate network of the massive ice fields, including the Muir Snowfield and Wilson Glacier, while documenting the early road and trail access at the Nisqually Park Entrance Ranger Station and Longmire. To the south, the map reveals the rural life of the Cowlitz Valley before modern expansion, where small communities like Randle and Packwood were centers of activity along the Cowlitz River.
