About this map

Lakeview Peak and the surrounding timberlands of Cowlitz County are defined by a complex drainage network feeding into the Kalama River. This 1983 survey illustrates a landscape heavily utilized for resource extraction, evidenced by the numerous Borrow Pit sites scattered across the ridges and along the North Fork Kalama River. The terrain is deeply dissected by a web of tributaries, including Langdon Creek, Wolf Creek, and Elk Creek, which flow through the steep drainages flanking Butler Butte.

This provisional edition serves as a record of the backcountry access routes and industrial footprint in the early 1980s. The dense concentration of borrow pits suggests active road construction or maintenance during this period, likely supporting the regional timber industry. Boundary lines for T 7 N and T 8 N intersect the northern reaches of the sheet, providing precise locational data for researchers tracking land use and watershed management history in this part of Washington.
