About this map

Hatchet Mountain stands as the dominant topographical feature in this corner of the Pacific Northwest, where the rugged terrain of the Gifford Pinchot area transitions toward the river valleys of Southwest Washington. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the North Fork Toutle River and Green River, which flow through the southern portion of the quadrangle. In the north, Mayfield Lake provides a significant water body near the settlements of Winston and Wilson.

The map reveals a landscape heavily utilized for resource management and local transit, with numerous forest and spur roads like Salmon Creek RD and Camp Nine RD threading through the timbered slopes. Evidence of small-scale settlement remains at Maple Flat, situated along the riverbanks. This area, spanning the Lewis Co Cowlitz Co border, reflects the typical mid-20th-century development of the region, balancing natural drainage systems like Salmon Cr and Winston Cr with a growing grid of access roads for the logging and recreation sectors.
