About this map

Pysht and the settlement at Clallam Bay serve as the primary coastal outposts in this 1918 survey of the northern Olympic Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the early industrial timber economy, with several segments of a Logging R. R. winding through the hills near Pillar Point and along the Jim Creek drainage. These rail lines illustrate the intensive logging operations pushing inland from the Juan de Fuca Strait into the dense timberlands of what would become the Olympic National Forest.

Further south, the terrain descends toward the Soleduck River valley, where the Snider Ranger Sta and an early Highway mark the transition toward the interior wilderness. The map details a complex network of watercourses including the South Fork Pysht River and Beaver Creek, providing a clear record of the area's geography before significant 20th-century development altered these drainage patterns.
