About this map

The Snoqualmie National Forest dominates the northeastern portion of this landscape, marking a transition into the managed timberlands and protected watersheds of Lewis County. The topography is defined by the headwaters and drainage basins of several significant water systems, most notably the Skookumchuck River flowing through the northern sections and the S Fork Newaukum River cutting through the south.

Evidence of human activity is concentrated along the lower elevations where Pigeon Springs Rd, Highlander Dr, and August Rd provide access to the foothills. Notable terrain features such as Windy Knob overlook a dense network of tributaries including Bernier Creek, Beaver Cr, and Kearney Cr. This 2017 survey reflects the contemporary land use patterns of the Pacific Northwest, where rural road networks meet industrial and national forest boundaries in a complex system of ridges and creek valleys.
