About this map

The Little Washougal River and the main Washougal River dominate this portion of Clark County, where the Cascades' foothills transition into residentially developing prairies. Small settlements and rural residential hubs like Sunnyside, Fern Prairie, and Creswell Heights sit below the high peaks of Livingston Mtn and Spud Mtn. The map documents a modern network of county roads, such as NE Ireland Rd and NE Lookout Rd, connecting these outlying communities to the forested highlands.

Protection of the upper elevations is noted by the presence of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and the Yacoult Burn State Forest Rd. High-altitude landmarks like Larch Mtn and Pyramid Rock provide orientation for the Larch Mountain Trl, while the drainage patterns of Cold Cr and Rock Cr illustrate the steep descent toward the river valleys. This survey is particularly useful for identifying the specific suburban and rural boundaries established near Washougal Lake.
