About this map

Kamilche Valley and the Black Hills characterize this section of the Pacific Northwest, where the borders of Mason, Thurston, and Grays Harbor counties converge. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including Skookum Cr flowing through the Little Skookum Valley and Mox Chehalis Cr to the south. Small settlements like Stimson and Malone are situated near the western edge of the expansive Capitol Forest, a region marked by timber production and rugged ridges such as Buck Ridge and Hicklin Hill.

Logistics and transport in the area rely on a network of forest roads and local connectors, such as Tornquist Rd and Mox-Chehalis Rd, which navigate the elevation changes leading to Porter Pass. This 2017 survey reflects the contemporary state of these managed timberlands, showing the complex interplay of named creeks like Kennedy Cr and Swan Cr as they move through the varied terrain of the southern Puget Sound hinterlands.
