2011 Map of Ariel

About this map

Lake Merwin and the Lewis River dominate this geography, where the massive Merwin Dam regulates the water flow north of the Ariel settlement. The landscape is a network of small rural communities and agricultural developments, including Etna, Cedarville, and Dayton. The Southern portion of the map transition into the more open terrain of Fargher Lake, which is punctuated by smaller water bodies like Fargher Pond and the Tsugawa Brothers Reservoir. Local aviation is represented by McClellan Field and the La Center View-Air Airport, while the area's pioneer history is anchored by the Lone Pine Cemetery and Mountain View Cemetery. This survey shows a region defined by its reliance on water management and timber-era infrastructure, with numerous smaller dams such as Elmer Dam and Erickson Dam controlling the various creeks that feed into the larger river system.
