About this map

The South Fork Chehalis River and Chehalis River define the eastern edge of this Lewis County landscape, where the flat river valley meets the rising timberlands to the west. Near the confluence, the small community of Boistfort serves as a local hub, anchored by Boistfort Park and a nearby Cemetery. To the north, the settlement of Ceres sits beneath the prominent Ceres Hill, overlooking the Miller Swamp.

Logging and resource extraction leave a clear footprint across the hillsides, with numerous Borrow Pits and a Quarry scattered among the drainages. The Camp McDonald (Site) suggests earlier industrial activity along Stillman Creek. A complex network of watercourses, including Lost Creek Valley and Halfway Creek, carves through the interior, while the Old Grade road hints at historical transportation routes through the timber. This survey documents a rural Washington territory where agricultural riverfront and industrial upland intersect.
