1953 Map of Mt. Walker

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Quilcene sits at the edge of the Olympic National Forest, serving as a gateway to the high peaks and dense watersheds of the Quilcene Range. The landscape is defined by the parallel courses of the Little Quilcene River and the Big Quilcene River, which drain the eastern slopes toward the coast. This mid-century survey captures the infrastructure of forest management and early conservation, including the Rainbow Camp Guard Sta, the U S Fish Hatchery, and a Diversion Dam on Tunnel Creek. Notable landmarks such as Mt Walker and Walker Pass anchor the topography, while the Townsend Creek Trail and various Pipe Lines trace the human movement through this heavily timbered region. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for the Cemetery near the town center and backcountry sites like Bark Shanty Shelter.
