About this map

Eden Valley sits at the southern edge of this Lewis and Cowlitz County landscape, where the rugged drainages of the Cowlitz River system define the terrain. The northern section is marked by the distinct open spaces of Cowlitz Prairie and Layton Prairie, contrasting with the deeply incised valleys of the N-Fork Cedar Cr and Jack Welches Cr. A complex network of rural routes, such as Hinkley Rd and Cedar Creek Rd, provides access to the timberlands and homesteads that have long characterized this part of Southwest Washington.

Local landmarks include the Cedar Creek Falls and the junction of Little Salmon Cr and Salmon Cr near the county line. The map captures the interface between industrial forest lands and the agricultural history of the prairies. Named features like Alexander Cr and Ferteg Cr offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family land holdings or researchers documenting the hydrological history of the Cowlitz basin.
