2011 Map of Elochoman Lake

About this map

Elochoman Lake sits at the hydrological heart of this upland region in Cowlitz County, where the headwaters of several significant drainages diverge. The drainage network is complex, featuring the westward-flowing Elochoman River and its East Fork, alongside the South Fork Chehalis River and Germany Creek. This landscape is defined by the legacy of the timber industry, evidenced by the extensive network of specialized routes such as Bradley Truck Rd, Wisconsin Truck Trl, and Incline Truck Trl. These names, along with the Incline Lookout, point to a history of active forest management and fire surveillance in the Pacific Northwest. The terrain is further etched by numerous named tributaries including Abernethy Creek, Mill Creek, and Cameron Creek, which carve through the high country south of the Chehalis watershed.
