2013 Map of Lake Lawrence

About this map

Lake Lawrence and the winding Deschutes River define the northern lowlands of this Thurston County landscape, where rural aviation and ranching persist. The map documents a transition from the level terrain of Smith Prairie and the Flying B Airport to the increasingly steep topography of the south. High points such as Porcupine Ridge and Clam Mtn rise sharply toward the border with Lewis County, overlooking the upper reaches of the Skookumchuck River. Local history is anchored by specific family-named landmarks like Reichel Ranch and the Roundtree Cabin, while smaller water bodies such as Reichel Lake and Nelda Lake dot the drainage basins. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the road network, including Lawrence Lake Rd SE and Cougar Mountain Airport Rd SE, reflecting the area's development between mountain and river valley.
