About this map

Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest dominate this mid-century wilderness survey, which straddles the boundary between Clallam and Jefferson counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of major coastal drainages, including the Soleduck River in the northeast and the Bogachiel River winding through the center. A sparse network of backcountry infrastructure is documented, notably the Hyak Shelter and Twentymile Shelter, alongside the Soleduck Road following the river's path.

Prominent landforms like Sore Thumb, Slide Peak, and Misery Peak rise between the deep timbered valleys of the North Fork Calawah River and its various tributaries. This era of the park's history is reflected in the mapping of remote landmarks such as Ring Lake and Blackwood Lake, providing a detailed look at the trail systems and topographic elevations before the modern expansion of recreational access.
