2017 Map of Jackson Prairie

About this map

Jackson Prairie serves as the central hub of this Lewis County landscape, where the agricultural flats are defined by a network of prairies and river forks. The settlement of Marys Corner sits at a prominent crossroads, anchoring a region characterized by its expansive grasslands, including Newaukum Prairie, Lacamas Prairie, and Cowlitz Prairie. The hydrological system is particularly detailed, showing the convergence of the North Fork Newaukum River, Middle Fork Newaukum River, and South Fork Newaukum River. Small-scale aviation is represented by Fantasy Field Airstrip and Harris Airport, while the rural road network, including the Jackson Highway, traces the property lines of this longstanding farming community. This survey provides a clear look at the drainage patterns of Baker Creek and Olequa Creek as they move through the varied terrain of the southern Washington interior.
