1948 Map of Tyler Peak

About this map

Tyler Peak stands at the center of this 1940s survey of the high Olympics, capturing a landscape defined by steep drainages and primitive forest infrastructure. The map records a transition from the Olympic National Forest into Olympic National Park, showing a dense network of backcountry stations and camps used by foresters and early mountaineers. Notable landmarks like the Tubal Cain Mine highlight the area's mineral exploration history, while locations such as the Louella Guard Sta and Slab Camp Guard Sta mark the administrative presence in the wilderness. The drainage patterns of the Dungeness River and Gray Wolf River are documented alongside high-altitude features like Mt Deception, Mt Constance, and Lake Constance. The numerous shelters, including Tenmile Shelter and Boulder Shelter, trace the established routes through this complex mountain terrain during the post-war era.
