About this map

Mossyrock serves as a hub for this portion of Lewis County, where the lowlands meet the rising slopes of the Snoqualmie National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic impoundments of the Cowlitz River, specifically Riffe Lake and Mayfield Lake. These reservoirs illustrate the modern engineering of the river system, which defines the local geography and separates the northern timberlands from southern agricultural and residential pockets.

Smaller settlements and rural junctions like Ajlune, Harmony, Bremer, and Swofford are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by roads such as Harmony Rd and Young Rd. Local landmarks, including Swofford Pond and Bellicum Peak, provide specific points of reference for those researching the transition from the valley floor to the high ridges of Bremer Mtn. The map also captures several natural drainages such as Tilton River and Klickitat Cr, which carve through the terrain toward the larger Cowlitz basin.
