About this map

Mount Saint Helens National Volcanic Monument and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest converge on this landscape, shaped by dramatic geology and the flow of the Lewis River. The southern slopes of the volcano are marked by unique subterranean features including the Lower Ape Cave Passage and the Ape Cave Trl, while the surface is defined by Lava Canyon and prominent heights such as Cinnamon Peak and Mt Mitchell.

The central portion of the map is dominated by the Swift Reservoir, where the waters are contained by the Devils Backbone. Numerous tributaries like Swift Creek and Ole Creek feed into this basin. This contemporary survey shows the extensive network of forest roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 90, which provide access to remote areas like Merrill Lk and Grass Lake amidst the timbered ridges of Green Mtn and Marble Mtn.
