About this map

Olympic National Forest land dominates this 1990 survey of Mason County, where the logging history of the Pacific Northwest is evident through isolated outposts and specialized infrastructure. The timber-industry settlement of Grisdale sits in the northern reaches near Grisdale Hill, while Camp Govey and the Fir Creek FS Station provide operational anchors in the drainage of the South Fork Skokomish River. The map captures a landscape defined by its water systems, from the meandering Vance Creek to numerous alpine bodies like Lake West, Haven Lake, and Jackpot Lake. A network of logging roads and 4wd tracks connects the higher elevations of South Mountain and Windy to the broader Skokomish Valley, illustrating the intersection of federal forest management and local resource extraction during the late twentieth century.
