About this map

Boistfort and the surrounding Boistfort Prairie define this corner of Lewis County, where the South Fork Chehalis River meanders through a landscape of creek-fed valleys and timbered ridges. Early twentieth-century settlement patterns are visible in the proximity of small locales like Klaber and Ceres, the latter situated near the northern Chehalis River and Ceres Hill. The road network, including the Pe Ell McDonald Rd and Lost Valley Rd, traces the drainage patterns of numerous waterways such as Stillman Creek, Lost Creek, and Halsey Creek.

The presence of Camp McDonald and Boistfort Park indicates a mix of resource management and local community space. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts between Lost Valley and the upland reaches of Moon Hill Rd. This survey documents a rural environment where the economy is intimately tied to the river system and the extensive network of secondary roads that serve the isolated farmsteads and logging areas of the Pacific Northwest.
