2024 Map of Long Lake

About this map

Gardner Lake and its intricate network of connecting waterways dominate this modern survey of eastern Washington County. The landscape is defined by the legacy of small mill settlements and the expansive protected lands of the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge and Moosehorn Wilderness (Edmunds Unit). Scattered hamlets like Chase Mills and Halls Mills suggest a history of water-powered industry where drainage systems like Hobart Stream and Rocky Lake Stream feed into the larger basins of Long Lake and Bog Lake. The topography is marked by significant wetlands and heaths, such as MacElroy Heath and the vast Hobart Bog, which alternate with low-lying ridges. Local history is anchored by sites like the Gardner Lake Cem and several family-named landmarks including Foster Lake and Josh Pond, reflecting the long-standing human connection to this lacustrine environment.
