About this map

Elochoman Pass serves as a central divide in this densely wooded, mountainous region where Lewis, Pacific, and Wahkiakum counties converge. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, acting as the headwaters for several major river systems. To the west, the E Fork Grays River and S Fork Grays River begin their descent, while the W Fork Chehalis River and E Fork Chehalis River strike out to the east and north.

Evidence of modern forest management is present through the network of timber access routes like 500 Rd, which navigate the steep topography between Sage Creek Low Gap and various creek basins. The prevalence of water-based labels such as Cinnabar Cr, Muck Cr, and Big Roger Cr underscores the area's importance for local watershed management and provides specific landmarks for backcountry navigation and topographic study.
