1942 Map of Pysht

About this map

Pysht sits at the junction of the Pysht River and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, serving as a coastal anchor in this wartime survey. The landscape is defined by the industrial reach of the Bloedel Donovan Lumber Mills Logging RR, which snakes through the northern hills near Clallam Bay. This rail infrastructure highlights the era's intensive timber operations within the Olympic National Forest. To the south, the terrain rises toward landmarks like Snider Peak and Kloshe Nanich, while the Soleduck River cuts a wide valley along the Olympic Highway. The inclusion of an Indian Cem near the coast and the Bear Creek Trail further inland provide specific points of interest for those studying the intersection of indigenous sites and early 20th-century resource extraction.
