2000 Map of Larch Mountain

About this map

Yacolt Burn State Forest and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominate this landscape on the cusp of the millennium. The map documents a transition between protected woodlands and the encroaching development near the Camp Bonneville Military Reservation and settlements like Ireland and Creswell Heights. High points such as Larch Mtn, Elkhorn Mtn, and Spud Mountain provide significant verticality, while the Washougal River and its numerous tributaries, including Jones Creek and the Lacamas Creek East Fork, drain the watershed. The presence of the Larch Corrections Center and a Communication Site at the summit of Larch Mountain reflects the area's modern infrastructure. For those interested in recreation and local topography, the Tarbell Trail and Jones Creek Picnic Area are clearly marked alongside numerous 4WD roads and local routes like Stauffer Road and Ammeter Road.
