About this map

North Bonneville sits at the edge of the Columbia Gorge, marking a landscape where the river's influence meets the steep rise of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This modern survey reveals a complex network of recreational paths, including the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and specialized routes such as the Equestrian Loop Trl. The map illustrates how human activity and conservation intersect, with the Pierce National Wildlife Refuge protecting the lowlands while the surrounding terrain is defined by rugged elevation gains towards Hamilton Mtn.

Named water features such as Duncan Creek and Hardy Creek drain toward the gorge, feeding local landmarks like Rodney Falls. The inclusion of specific local nomenclature like Dimrill Dale and the Mars Landing settlement provides unique geographic identifiers for the Skamania County shoreline. The map is a record of modern forest management and trail systems through the drainage basins of the Washougal River and Hamilton Creek.
