1955 Map of Wynoochee Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Wynoochee River carves a winding path through the heart of the Olympic Peninsula foothills in this mid-century survey of Grays Harbor County. The landscape is defined by the timber industry and river systems, with a complex network of waterways including the West Fork Satsop River and the East Fork Wishkah River. Local community life is anchored at the Wynoochee Grange and the small settlement of Simpson, while the southern reaches show the early development of Sylvia Lake State Park around Sylvia Lake. A distinctive Logging Railroad snakes through the northeast, illustrating the era's reliance on rail for moving timber from the drainages of Canyon Creek and Caldwell Creek. High-ground markers like Money Lookout and Prices Peak offer vantage points over the heavy forest canopy, while small markers like a lonely Cem near the Satsop suggest the long-standing family roots in these river valleys.
