1955 Map of Quinault Lake

About this map

The Quinault Indian Reservation and the Olympic National Forest define the landscape of this 1955 survey, where the Quinault River flows into the expansive Quinault Lake. The area reflects a mid-century infrastructure of forest management and early recreation, evidenced by the Indian Affairs Forestry Sta, Kiwanis Camp, and several forest camps like Willaby Creek Forest Camp. The timber economy is clearly visible through a network of logging railroads and multiple lookout towers, including Lone Mtn Lookout and Burnt Hill Lookout, which guarded the dense stands of the Olympic Peninsula.
