2020 Map of Capitol Peak

About this map

Capitol Peak stands as the primary topographical sentinel within the Capitol Forest, anchoring a landscape of the Black Hills that spans the border between Thurston and Grays Harbor counties. This high-country region is defined by a dense network of forest roads and trails, including the Crestline Trail and Wedekind Trail, which traverse the ridgelines between peaks like Larch Mtn and Fuzzy Top. The drainage patterns here are complex, with the headwaters of the S Fork Porter Cr and N Fork Porter Cr flowing westward, while Sherman Cr and Lost Valley Cr carve out the distinct lowlands of Sherman Valley and Lost Valley to the southeast. The map reveals an active working forest environment where legacy logging routes like B-Line Rd and C-Line Road provide the framework for contemporary recreational and resource management access.
