About this map

Ohanapecosh Hot Springs sits at the northern edge of this landscape, marking a historic point of interest where the Ohanapecosh River flows south toward its confluence with the Clear Fork Cowlitz River. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes across Backbone Ridge and Coal Creek Mtn, reflecting the complex hydrology of the region where numerous tributaries like Purcell Cr and Cortright Cr feed into the larger river systems.

Boundary lines for Mount Rainier National Park and Gifford Pinchot National Forest meet here, preserving a wilderness character punctuated by landmarks such as Fish Ladder Falls and Grant Purcell Falls. For those tracing the geography of Lewis County, the map details high-altitude features including Backbone Lake and the Palisades, alongside the winding paths of the Muddy Fork Cowlitz River and the Cowlitz River.
