About this map

Curtis and Ruth sit at the northwestern edge of this landscape where the Chehalis River and the South Fork Chehalis River converge. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Crego Hill, Buckhorn Hill, and Sam Henry Mtn, which overlook a network of creek drainages including Lake Cr, Moquet Cr, and Lentz Cr. The settlement pattern follows the lower elevations and river valleys, evidenced by the agricultural and community hub at Boistfort Prairie.

Social and transportation infrastructure is well-marked, from the Crego Grange serving the rural population to the Curtis Airport. A dense grid of local roads, such as Ceres Hill RD, Boistfort RD, and Pleasant Hill RD, connects the scattered homes and farms of Pleasant Hill with the surrounding timberlands and valleys. The transition from the flat prairie lands to the timbered ridges is a central feature of this Lewis County region.
