1921 Map of Satsop

About this map

Olympic National Forest dominates the upper half of this 1921 tactical survey, revealing a landscape defined by its river systems and early industrial timber reach. The terrain rises toward Mt Baldy in the northwest, where the headwaters of the West Fork Humptulips River and Ziegler Creek begin their descent. Further east, the Wynoochee River carves a central path through the forest, passing the Wynoochee RS station before meeting tributaries like Save Creek. In the lower southeastern corner, the Simpson Logging R.R. appears along the West Fork Satsop River, marking the era's primary infrastructure for resource extraction. This sheet illustrates the transition from high mountain peaks to the drainage basins of the Wishkah River and Satsop River, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns before modern development altered the region.
