About this map

Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument and the surrounding Gifford Pinchot National Forest define this landscape just two decades after the cataclysmic eruption. The drainage of the South Fork Toutle River dominates the northern half of the sheet, where debris and volcanic flows have permanently altered the course of waterways like Castle Lake.

Further south, the terrain transitions into more stable timberlands, indicated by the Kalama Horse Camp and a Gravel Pit near the Kalama River. High-elevation landmarks such as Goat Mountain and Spud Mountain overlook a network of seasonal waters including Goat Marsh Lake, McBride Lake, and Kalama Spring. The map documents the specific administrative boundaries established to manage the recovering wilderness, notably the Monument Boundary and Forest Boundary which delineate protected volcanic zones from national forest lands.
