About this map

Livingston Mtn and Spud Mtn rise above a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Washougal River and the East Fork Little Washougal River. The southern portion of the map shows residential expansion near Fern Prairie and Ireland, where a dense network of local roads like NE Wylie Rd and NE Stauffer Rd service the foothills. To the north and east, the terrain transitions into the protected wilderness of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, marked by steep elevations and creek-carved valleys.

Larch Mtn serves as a central landmark in this transition zone, with the higher elevations accessible via routes such as the Sturgeon Trl and Pyramid Trl. This area illustrates the interface between Clark County's growing rural communities and the timbered slopes of the Cascades, where the watershed includes smaller bodies like Washougal Lake and numerous tributaries including Jones Creek and Cedar Creek.
