About this map

The Cowlitz River and the expansive waters of Riffe Lake anchor this modern survey of central Lewis County. The landscape is defined by its transition from the managed timberlands of the Snoqualmie National Forest in the north to the developed river valleys below. Small settlements like Ajlune and Swofford remain tucked into the lowlands near Swofford Valley, while the town of Mossyrock serves as a primary hub.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important burial sites, including the Saint Yves Catholic Cem, Dunn Cem, and Doss Cem. The map provides a contemporary view of the region's topography, tracing the rugged descent from Bremer Mtn and Bellicum Peak toward the established farmsteads and river-bottom communities that have long shaped the character of this part of the Pacific Northwest.
