About this map

South Fork Chehalis River and its many tributaries define this mid-1980s landscape in rural Lewis County, where the valley floor transitions into high ridges and timbered slopes. The settlement of Curtis serves as a local hub near the Boistfort Prairie, an area known for its early agricultural importance. To the north, the Chehalis River winds through the corner of the map near the small community of Ceres.

The map reveals a mix of community life and natural features, from the Crego Grange on Crego Hill to prominent landmarks like Sam Henry Mtn and Buckhorn Hill. An intricate network of drainage includes Stearns Creek, Lake Creek, and Moquet Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Chehalis basin. Resource activity is noted through scattered sites like the Quarry and Borrow Pit, while the presence of a Radio Facility marks contemporary infrastructure among the older family-named hills.
