1984 Map of Hemlock Pass

About this map

Coweeman River winds through the heart of this terrain in Cowlitz County, joined by numerous family-named tributaries like Sam Smith Creek and Jim Watson Creek. The landscape is defined by the high point of Hemlock Pass and the drainage systems of Hemlock Creek and Mulholland Creek. This area shows a pattern of resource extraction and local infrastructure typical of the Pacific Northwest in the early 1980s, evidenced by several Borrow Pit sites scattered near the ridge lines. Access is provided primarily via Rose Valley Road, which follows the river valley floor. The map also records the precise intersection of the Willamette Meridian, providing a clear view of how these timberlands were surveyed and partitioned between the township lines of T 9 N, T 8 N, and T 7 N.
