2020 Map of Larch Mountain

About this map

Creswell Heights and the small settlement of Ireland are prominent residential and agricultural nodes in this section of Clark County, where the landscape transitions into the southern reaches of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Larch Mtn, Livingston Mtn, and Elkhorn Mtn, with the Washougal River and Little Washougal River carving through the valleys. The map documents a complex network of forest access and recreational paths including Murphy's Grade, Cold Creek Trail, and the Cold Creek Loop. Geologic landmarks like Pyramid Rock and transit points like Jackson Pass mark the higher ground, while lower elevations near the southern border feature Washougal Lake and Carnelian Cr. The layout of roads like NE Ireland Rd and NE Stauffer Rd reflects the long-standing rural development pattern of the region before entering the protected forest lands.
