About this map

Elochoman Lake and its surrounding drainage basins define this portion of the Pacific Northwest, where the boundaries of Wahkiakum and Cowlitz counties meet. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of timber management and transport routes, including the Elochoman Mainline and several specialized paths such as the Incline Truck Trl and Wisconsin Truck Trl. These routes trace the ridges between significant water bodies, including the S Fork Chehalis River and the Elochoman River.

The hydrography of the region is exceptionally dense, with numerous named tributaries such as Abernethy Creek, Germany Cr, and Mill Cr cutting through the terrain. The presence of Logging RD 1540 and various truck trails illustrates the industrial legacy of the area, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure used to navigate the high-elevation divides between the Columbia River and Chehalis River watersheds.
