1983 Map of Cougar
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Yale Lake and the Lewis River dominate this 1980s landscape, serving as the primary geographic corridor through the southern reaches of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The small settlement of Cougar sits at the northern tip of the lake, characterized by its local park system including Cougar Park and Cougar Camp, alongside a dedicated Trailer Park. This era reflects a transition toward managed recreation and conservation following the nearby volcanic activity, as evidenced by the inclusion of the Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument along the eastern edge. To the north, Merrill Lake remains a focal point for outdoor activity with its Boat Ramp and Merrill Lake Campground. The presence of several Borrow Pits near the Kalama River suggests ongoing infrastructure maintenance in a region otherwise defined by high peaks like Cinnamon Peak and the cascade at Kalama Falls.
