2023 Map of Kiona Peak

About this map

Rainey Valley serves as a central corridor for this part of Lewis County, where the lowlands of the Big Bottom meet the timbered heights of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This landscape is defined by the transitions between the wide alluvial plain of the Cowlitz River and the steep terrain rising toward Kiona Peak and Johnson Mtn. Evidence of early settlement and land use remains visible through family and community landmarks like the Coleman Cem and the Rainey Valley Cem. The map reveals a complex network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 240, which weave through the drainage basins of Mineral Creek and the East Fork Tilton River. Aviation history is also present at the Randle-Kiona Airpark, situated where the valley floor widens to accommodate local infrastructure.
