About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Skamania County, dominated by a series of prominent summits and north-south running ridges. The terrain is anchored by McCoy Peak and Langille Peak, with Langille Ridge forming a continuous spine across the western half of the quadrangle. This 2020 survey illustrates a complex hydrological system where headwaters like McCoy Cr and Yellowjacket Cr drain the steep slopes, occasionally collecting in small basins such as Blue Lake 3.

A network of trails and primitive routes follows the natural contours of the land, connecting points of interest like Yellowjacket Pass and Sunrise Loop. The nomenclature of the area reflects its wilderness character, with names such as Snagtooth Mtn, Shark Rock, and Dark Meadow highlighting the varied topography. The map detail provides a clear view of the transitions between dense forest cover and the exposed rocky outcrops of the southern Cascades.
