1970 Map of Hamilton Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this topographic survey, revealing the remote high-country terrain of the Washington Cascades as it was documented in 1970. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Cispus River and its North Fork, which carve through steep ridges like Stonewall Ridge and Mission Mtn. Navigation during this era relied heavily on an extensive network of a Pack Trail, providing access to isolated water bodies such as St John Lake, St Michael Lake, and Hugo Lake. In the northeast, the map transitions into the high elevations of the Goat Rocks Wilderness, where Goat Ridge stands as a prominent landmark. The presence of a small Gravel Pit and several campgrounds near Chambers Lake indicates the limited human infrastructure and resource management present at the time, while the tri-county boundary where Lewis, Skamania, and Yakima counties meet highlights the remote geopolitical convergence in this forested region.
