About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this mid-1990s landscape, where the Cispus River carves a path through high ridges and timbered slopes. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations such as Blue Lake Ridge and the prominent East Canyon Ridge, with small alpine water bodies like Mouse Lake and Blue Lake scattered among the peaks. A notable Mine located north of East Canyon Creek suggests the area's history of mineral exploration amidst the dense woods.

Road systems and trails, many marked with approximate locations like the Doe Location, weave through the drainage basins of Adams Creek and Council Creek. To the south, Council Lake sits below the steep face of Council Bluff, providing a clear point of reference for those studying the recreational and industrial use of these highlands before the modern digital era. Summit Prairie and Table Mtn anchor the southwestern portion of the sheet, illustrating the varied volcanic and glacial topography of the Washington Cascades.
