About this map

The Big Cowlitz River meanders through the southern expanse of this Lewis County landscape, defining the broad alluvial plain known as Big Bottom. North of the river, the terrain rises sharply into the protected highlands of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, where landmarks like Johnson Mountain and Kiona Peak overlook the timbered slopes. The valley floor supports small rural clusters such as Owen and Huff, along with a local Cem that provides a point of interest for genealogical researchers tracing early families in the Valley.

Transitioning from the river lowlands to the steeper elevations, the map reveals the varied land use of the late 20th century. The Rainey Valley Mobile Home Park sits near the winding course of Rainey Creek, while a small Landing Strip is located near the riverbank. Significant conservation areas are also present, including the Cowlitz State Wildlife Area situated along Mineral Creek in the northeastern corner of the sheet.
