2023 Map of Ariel

About this map

Lewis River drainage patterns and the established communities of Ariel, Amboy, and Etna define this contemporary topographical study of northern Clark County. The landscape is characterized by the transition from the river valley to prominent summits like Bald Mtn and Davis Peak, with Lake Merwin dominating the northeast corner. This modern survey detail shows a network of rural roads such as NE Etna Rd and Lewis River Rd connecting isolated farmsteads and residential clusters. Local heritage sites are preserved through the documentation of the Lone Pine Cem and Mountain View Cem. Agricultural and landing infrastructure is evident in features like the Tsugawa Brothers Reservoir and McClellan Field, illustrating the continued importance of land management and local aviation in the region. The boundary between Cowlitz and Clark counties follows the meandering course of the river, anchoring the northern edge of the map.
