2000 Map of Bernier Creek

About this map

The Skookumchuck River and the headwaters of the Newaukum drainage system dominate this forested landscape in Lewis County at the turn of the 21st century. The map reveals a complex network of timber and access roads threading through the high country, where peaks like Windy Knob rise between deep drainages. Much of the eastern portion of the quadrangle lies within the Mt Baker - Snoqualmie National Forest, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to federal land management and the logging industry. The drainage patterns are meticulously recorded, showing the North Fork Newaukum River, South Fork Newaukum River, and smaller tributaries like Bernier Creek and Kearney Creek. This survey captures the character of the Washington cascades as a working forest, defined by its hydrology and the varying elevations that feed into the Chehalis River basin.
