1998 Map of Cedar Flats

About this map

The Swift Reservoir dominates the lower-central terrain of this area within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, where the reservoir waters are managed at Spillway Elev 1008. This survey reflects a landscape shaped by both natural water systems and forest management, featuring the Pine Creek Work Center Pine Creek Information Station and a Gaging Station near the Lewis River. The small settlement of Northwoods sits tucked near the shoreline, providing a human anchor in a region defined by steep timbered slopes rising toward McClellan Mountain and the prominent Eagle Cliffs. Recreation and education are evident through the Swift Forest Campground and the Cedar Flats Nature Trail, which provides access to the namesake Cedar Flats. The presence of a Gravel Pit near the Muddy River indicates the ongoing maintenance and utility required to manage these remote forest lands.
