1994 Map of Greenhorn Buttes

About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this landscape in the mid-1990s, where the convergence of the Cowlitz River and the Cispus River shapes the local topography. This 1994 revision reflects a heavily managed timber and recreational environment, evidenced by the presence of the Woods Creek Information Station and a dense network of forest roads like Woods Creek Rd 1060. The map traces the county boundary between Lewis Co and Skamania Co, cutting through high-elevation terrain including Bluff Mountain and the namesake Greenhorn Buttes. For those studying the history of land use in the Pacific Northwest, the intricate drainage system of Greenhorn Creek, Nash Creek, and Trapper Creek illustrates the complex watersheds that define this portion of the Cascades before the turn of the 21st century.
