Pete Steele maps

Born in Tacoma in 1922, Pete Steele moved with his family to Seattle as an infant. He attended school there and graduated from the University of Washington. During World War II he was a photographer in the Air Force in both the European and Pacific arenas. He returned to Seattle where he resided until coming to Ardenvoir in 1961 where he was a watchman at the mill. Pete was troubled by the pace of logging in the high country in the 1950s and 60s. He hiked extensively and produced two maps under the label "Washington Mountain Maps" which show a remarkable knowledge of the area at the time. An index map makes it clear that he had ambitions to produce many more such maps, but these are the only two that he completed and are reproduced here with permission from his sister. Pete died at age 54 in 1976.

Robert Kinzebach Pic-Tour Guide maps

Robert Kinzebach became hooked on back country hiking during high school in Wenatchee. This lifelong interest was enhanced by the formation of a map business in the 1970s that continued for over 20 years. During this period high quality USGS topo maps were updated infrequently and were relatively expensive. Pic-Tour marketing was primarily by word of mouth, supplemented by advertisements in Pack & Paddle and Signpost magazines, and in the Wenatchee World newspaper. The Mountaineers map collection includes approximately 50 Pic-Tour maps, most of which are those published in the 1980s and 1990s.
