1971 Map of White River Park

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The White River valley carves through the high country of the Sourdough Mountains, serving as a primary corridor into the northeast corner of Mount Rainier National Park during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by its extensive trail networks, notably the Wonderland Trail and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which provide access to a series of alpine parks including Burnt Park, Green Park, and Bear Park. Infrastructure within the park boundaries is focused on administration and visitor safety, represented by the White River Ranger Station, a Patrol Cabin, and the Silver Creek Guard Station. The presence of a State Highway Maintenance Sta and a Gaging Station near the river indicates the technical management required for this high-elevation environment. Geologic and recreational landmarks such as The Palisades and Sunrise Point offer specific points of interest for those studying the area's historical land use and early park development.
