2023 Map of Bernier Creek

About this map

The South Fork Newaukum River and the Skookumchuck River define the drainage patterns of this timber-rich region in Lewis County. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses including Bernier Creek, Houser Creek, and Three Deer Creek, which flow through the western reaches of the Snoqualmie National Forest. While much of the area is dominated by the forest canopy and high points like Windy Knob, the southern margin reveals the early stages of rural development. Access into this interior is facilitated by local routes such as August Rd, Highlander Dr, and Pigeon Springs Rd, which serve as the primary conduits between the rugged timberlands and the more accessible river valleys. The map illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by forestry and the natural hydrology of the Pacific Northwest.
