About this map

Boistfort Prairie and the surrounding Lewis County uplands are defined by the convergence of the Chehalis River and its southern fork. The settlement of Curtis serves as a local anchor near the South Fork Chehalis River, situated at a crossroads just north of the Curtis Airport. The landscape transitions from river valley lowlands to prominent rises such as Pleasant Hill and Crego Hill, with the Pleasant Hill Cem marking a site of local genealogical significance on the heights.

Modern recreation and historic transport routes meet along the Willapa Hills State Park Trl, which follows the northern river corridor near Ruth. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous drainages, including Lake Creek and Stearns Creek, while the southern reaches of the map climb toward Sam Henry Mtn. This topography reflects the region's enduring character as a timber and agricultural hub in the Pacific Northwest.
