2017 Map of Kiona Peak

About this map

Kiona Peak stands as the prominent landmark within this portion of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, where the high Cascades terrain meets the fertile lowlands of the Cowlitz River valley. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by timber management and aviation, featuring the Randle-Kiona Airpark and numerous forest development roads like Nat For Dev RD 1243 that lace through the drainage of Rainey Creek. Local history is rooted in the named basins and flats such as Rainey Valley and the curiously named Big Bottom, while smaller watercourses like Stiltner Creek and Oliver Creek provide a fine-grained view of the area's hydrology. Distinctive summits and high points, including Johnson Mountain, Harrington Rock, and the Coleman Weed Patch, offer specific orientation points for researchers tracking property boundaries or historical land use in this part of Lewis County.
