1956 Map of Salmon River

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Mt Octopus and the surrounding river systems of the Olympic Peninsula are the central features of this mid-century topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the massive drainage basins of the Clearwater River and the Solleks River, where numerous waterways like Stequaleho Creek and Christmas Cr feed into the complex hydrological network of the Pacific Northwest. The map captures a moment when land use was strictly partitioned between the Olympic National Park, Olympic National Forest, and the northern edge of the Quinault Indian Reservation. Human presence is minimal, concentrated around the Queets Ranger Sta and Queets Campground near the riverbanks. The survey details the transition across the Jefferson and Grays Harbor county line, illustrating a territory dominated by timber management and federal conservation just before the intensification of modern logging access roads.
