1950 Map of Slide Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Olympic National Forest and the Olympic National Park define the character of this mountainous landscape in the early 1950s. The terrain is marked by distinctive high points such as Sore Thumb, Misery Peak, and Slide Peak. These peaks serve as the headwaters for several significant waterways, including the Soleduck River and the Bogachiel River, which carve deep valleys through the heavily contoured topography. Backcountry infrastructure of the era is represented by specific waypoints like the Twentyone mile Shelter and Hyak Shelter, situated along established trails. This survey preserves the exact boundaries of the Olympic Primitive Area before modern management shifts, showing a region where access was limited to footpaths and the natural drainage patterns of creeks like Hyak Creek and Alckee Creek dictated travel.
