About this map

Burnt Peak rises above a landscape defined by the deep drainage of the Lewis River and its numerous tributaries during this late-century USDA Forest Service revision. The map documents a recreational and resource-management network within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, featuring specialized shelters like House Rock Shelter and Bolt Camp Shelter alongside lookout points such as the Old Mount St Helens Viewpoint.

Hydrological data is well-represented through the placement of a Gaging Station and the mapping of dramatic water features, including Curly Creek Falls and Big Creek Falls. The presence of McClellan Meadows and the uniquely named 2x4 Prairie highlights the varied upland terrain, while infrastructure for winter recreation is noted at Rush Sno-Park and the McClellan Meadows Sno-Park. This survey provides a technical look at the backcountry access routes, including the Lewis River Trail, during a period of transition in national forest management.
