1986 Map of Gumboot Mtn

About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the East Fork Lewis River and the Washougal River. In the mid-1980s, this area of Skamania and Clark counties remained primarily a wilderness of steep ridges and creek valleys, though early industrial and recreational footprints are evident. The presence of several Mines, a Quarry, and a Borrow Pit suggests the extraction of local resources, while Sunset Campground marks a point of access for visitors to the high country. Notable landmarks such as Gumboot Mtn, Saturday Rock, and Silver Star Mountain provide high-elevation vantage points over the complex network of creeks like Tatoosh Creek and McKinley Creek. The map documents the specific locations of Summit Spring and McKinley Ridge, offering valuable data for those studying the physical history and land use of the Cascades.
