1998 Map of Lookout Mountain

About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this volcanic landscape in the late 1990s, defined by the stark presence of Lava flows from West Crater. This survey highlights the complex management of Washington's timber and recreational lands, showcasing the intersection of the Wind River Experimental Forest and the Yacolt Burn State Forest. High peaks like Lookout Mountain and Mowich Butte overlook a dense network of water systems, including the Lewis River and Trout Creek. Recreational and utility corridors are clearly visible, from the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and Snag Trail to a Communication Facility perched at a high elevation. The map also identifies local landmarks such as Zig Zag Lake and the Mowich Campground, providing a detailed look at the southern Cascades' natural drainage and forest divisions.
