1983 Map of Cedar Flats

About this map

The Swift Reservoir and the Lewis River dominate this early 1980s topographic survey of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This era in Skamania County shows a landscape shaped by water management and forest service operations, centered around the settlement of Northwoods. The map documents the recreational and industrial infrastructure of the time, including the Swift Forest Campground, a Trailer Park, and the Pine Creek Work Center. Notable terrain features such as Eagle Cliffs and McClellan Mountain rise above the drainage basins of the Muddy River and Paradise Valley Creek. The presence of several Borrow Pits and a Gravel Pit suggests ongoing maintenance of the forest road system near the National Forest Boundary.
