1953 Map of Mt Tebo

About this map

Olympic National Forest dominates this mid-century topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by timber operations and wilderness management. The map details the complex industrial geography of the area, including the Bingham Cr Reload and Fir Creek Reload sites, which emphasize the era's reliance on rail and truck log transport. The presence of Camp 3 (Site) and various back-country shelters like Camp Harps Shelter and Spider Lake Shelter reflect the dual identity of the region as both a working forest and a recreational frontier. To the northeast, the reservoir waters of Lake Cushman are bounded by high peaks such as Lightning Peak and Timber Mtn. The survey also marks the administrative infrastructure of the day, including the Le Bar Guard Sta and Intermount Guard Sta, which served as hubs for forest monitoring and fire prevention.
