2020 Map of Kamilche Valley

About this map

Stimson and the Kamilche Valley occupy a landscape defined by the intersection of three Washington counties and the expansive timberlands of the Capitol Forest. This 2020 survey illustrates a region where local agriculture and small settlements like Marmac and Forbes meet the complex drainage systems of the Black Hills. Waterways such as Skookum Cr and the Mox Chehalis Cr carve through the terrain, while landmarks like Kennedy Falls and Hicklin Hill provide vertical relief. The map reveals an extensive network of forestry and utility roads, including Powerline Rd NW and Rock Candy Mountain Rd SW, which navigate the high points of Buck Ridge and the passage at Porter Pass. The convergence of Mason, Grays Harbor, and Thurston counties creates a jurisdictional puzzle atop this primarily forested and creek-fed environment.
