About this map

The E Fork Lewis River carves a deep valley through the heart of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, defining the drainage patterns for this high-elevation region. To the north, the Tatoosh Hills and Gumboot Mtn stand as prominent landmarks, while the southern reaches are anchored by Silver Star Mtn and the sharp incline of McKinley Ridge. The landscape is a network of named springs and seasonal drainages, including Summit Springs and Miners Cr, reflecting a history of resource exploration and high-country travel.

Remote settlements like Chinook are situated near the western boundary of the Skamania County line. The map details an extensive trail network used for recreation and fire lookout access, featuring Ed's Trail, the Silver Star route, and the Starway path. These routes navigate the divide between the Lewis River drainage and the Washougal River headwaters, providing a precise record of the corridor's accessibility at the start of the 2020s.
