About this map

Napavine and its surrounding prairies define this portion of Lewis County, where the BNSF Railway and Interstate 5 parallel a historic corridor of settlement. The landscape is a mix of flat agricultural lands like Napavine Prairie and Newaukum Prairie punctuated by the winding courses of Stearns Creek and the Newaukum River. This survey captures the rural character of communities such as Evaline and the northern edge of Winlock, where small-scale aviation at Pilot's Pastures Airport exists alongside long-standing local landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of early regional centers, including the Saint Urban Catholic Cem and the small settlement of Saint. The map traces the transition from the rolling elevations of Newaukum Hill down to the expansive Grand Prairie, illustrating how topography influenced the placement of early roads like Jackson Hwy and the development of the timber and farming communities that characterize this part of Washington.
