We're newer to backcountry algonquin canoeing (mostly did car camping previously) and trying to truly understand the symbols on some of the Jeff's maps for Algonquin routes. On a trip we took in the fall, on the portage between Ralph Bice Lake and Hambone lake there is a supposed ranger cabin, green icon symbol. we never did find it, nor any sign of it. was it legit and we missed it, anybody have context to share/educate me further? screenshot attached.

Cabin icons in green are an 'old ranger cabin'. Meaning at one point in the history of the park there was a ranger cabin there. In many cases you'll still find remnants of the former cabin, but don't expect to find any of them intact. And in some cases you won't find anything at all.
Ranger cabins marked in black are rentable, maintained cabins.

Here's the "old ranger cabin" on Guthrie. A tree fell on it a few years earlier, before that it was apparently in pretty good shape still.

Was the Guthrie Cabin ever a rangers cabin? I thought it was built and used by trappers. Is it in 'A Few Rustic Huts'?

That's one ugly cabin but it looks like it's could keep you warm in the winter. I suspect something that big would show up on the leaf-off aerial photos that regularly get taken. Between the logging, flying, and bushwhacking going on in the park I bet that eventually everything interesting gets discovered.
