About this map

The Cispus River winds through this heavily forested landscape in the western foothills of the Cascades, where the Gifford Pinchot National Forest defines the land use and management. The map centers on the high-elevation terrain between Huffaker Mtn and the Greenhorn Buttes, showing a complex drainage system that includes Siler Creek, Ames Creek, and Iron Creek. A modest settlement area at Greenhorn sits near the river, reflecting the region's history of small forest outposts.

Transportation in the early 21st century remains dominated by forest routes like Randle-Lewis River road and specialized recreation paths. Hikers and researchers can trace the Old Growth Loop Trl and Kraus Ridge Trl, which provide access to notable landmarks such as Bluff Mtn and Iron Creek Butte. The southern portion of the map documents the political boundary between Lewis County and Skamania County as it cuts across the high ridges.
