1965 Map of Scenic

About this map

The Great Northern Railroad defines the industrial footprint of this mid-1960s survey, cutting through the high Cascades along the Tye River. The transition from the Old Railroad Grade to the engineering feat of the Cascade Tunnel illustrates the evolving railway path through this difficult terrain. Situated within the Snoqualmie National Forest, the map captures a landscape dedicated to early outdoor recreation and resource management, featuring the Deception Creek Campground and a network of historic paths like the Tonga Ridge Pack Trail.
