1950 Map of Mt. Steel

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Darky Mine sits along the North Fork Skokomish River in this high-altitude survey of the interior Olympic Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the transition between Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest, where high mountain peaks like Mt Steel and Mt Anderson overlook a network of backcountry infrastructure. The distribution of remote outposts, including Chalet, Hammer Cabin, and Lincoln Guard Sta, indicates a region managed for forestry and conservation rather than permanent settlement. Strategically placed trail infrastructure like Home Sweet Home Shelter and Diamond Meadow Shelter highlights the area's importance for early mid-century wilderness access. Glacial features such as Eel Glacier and Anderson Glacier are mapped in detail, feeding into major drainages like the Elwha River and Duckabush River that carve through the high ridgelines.
