2017 Map of Newaukum Lake

About this map

Newaukum Lake and the high ridges of the Snoqualmie National Forest dominate this landscape in Lewis County, where several major river systems find their headwaters. The map illustrates a complex drainage network where the Skookumchuck River, S Fork Newaukum River, and Deschutes River originate from the steep slopes of Bald Mtn and Huckleberry Mtn. The terrain is marked by significant landmarks like Lookout Peak and the prominent Rooster Rock near the southern boundary. This 2017 survey shows a region primarily managed for timber and conservation, crisscrossed by an extensive network of forestry roads such as Nat For Dev Rd 71 and Nat For Dev Rd 7112. The geography transition is evident as waters flow from Bear Canyon toward the N Fork Tilton River, reflecting the area's role as a vital watershed for the surrounding Pacific Northwest lowlands.
