2020 Map of Ariel

About this map

Lake Merwin and the winding Lewis River dominate the northern landscape of this region along the Cowlitz and Clark County line. The settlement of Ariel sits just below the reservoir, while the southern terrain transitions into a mosaic of small drainages and agricultural land. Significant local features include Fargher Lake and the nearby Fargher Pond, which define the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The map reveals a network of rural development around Etna and Highland, with the upland peaks of Davis Peak and Bald Mtn providing sharp relief against the river valleys. Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the precise locations of the Lone Pine Cem and Mountain View Cem, as well as specialized sites like McClellan Field and the Tsugawa-Brothers Reservoir. This contemporary survey reflects the enduring rural character of the area, where timbered ridges meet established homesteads and water resources.
