About this map

Kalama River flows through the center of this Cowlitz County landscape, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding highlands in the mid-1980s. Small outposts like Camp Kalama and Pigeon Springs mark the human presence along the riverbanks, providing specific points of reference for local history and property research. The area is defined by its significant relief, including Georges Peak, Shelley Mountain, and the connecting heights of Bear Pass.

The drainage network is particularly dense here, with numerous named tributaries such as Gobar Creek, Arnold Creek, and Jim Creek carving through the terrain. Evidence of local industrial activity or road construction is noted through several Borrow Pit locations, while transit through the high country is facilitated by features like Wilkinson Saddle. This survey reflects the region's character as a managed timber and watershed area prior to later developments.
