About this map

The Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this 1980s landscape, where high peaks like Kiona Peak and Johnson Mountain overlook a complex network of timber and mountain drainages. Along the lower elevations, the Cowlitz River flows through the southern reaches of the quadrangle, while the East Fork Tilton River and Rainey Creek carve out steep valleys to the north and west.

Settlement is sparse and concentrated in clearings, notably at the Rainey Trailer Park and the curiously named Coleman Weed Patch. Local heritage is marked by a small Cem (cemetery) and a remote Landing Strip near the river, suggesting the area's reliance on localized aviation and resource management. The presence of several Borrow Pit locations reflects the ongoing maintenance of the forest road network during this era of Pacific Northwest land use.
