1946 Map of Tyler Peak

About this map

Tyler Peak and its surrounding high-country watersheds dominate this 1946 survey, which documents the primitive backcountry infrastructure of the Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest. The map captures a network of interior shelters and camps established for rangers and early mountain travelers, including Royal Creek Cabin, Louella Guard Sta, and the curiously named Camp Mystery. The landscape is defined by the steep drainages of the Dungeness River and Gray Wolf River, with the Tubal Cain Mine serving as a rare industrial point of interest amidst the peaks. High-altitude landmarks such as Mt Deception and Mt Constance anchor the southern boundary, while numerous trail-side sites like Tenmile Shelter and Camp Tony illustrate the era's reliance on a robust system of pack-animal and foot-travel routes through the Clallam and Jefferson county line.
