1998 Map of Glenoma

About this map

Glenoma serves as the primary settlement within the fertile Rainey Valley, situated where Rainey Creek meets the northern reaches of Riffe Lake. This landscape is defined by the convergence of several major water systems, including the Tilton River and its various branches, such as the East Fork and South Fork. The topography transitions from the valley floor into the high elevations of the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, which is noted here as being administered by the neighboring Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Extensive conservation and recreation areas are present, including the Cowlitz State Wildlife Area and the Glenoma Community Park Picnic Area. Geologic and industrial markers like Coal Canyon and several scattered Quarry sites point to the region's history of resource extraction, while smaller landmarks like Ladd Pond and McKinley Lake punctuate the timbered heights.
