About this map

North Fork Newaukum River and the Mid Fk Newaukum R dominate this Lewis County landscape, where the drainage patterns of the Cascade foothills dictate the layout of early rural roads. The map reveals a land defined by its waterways, from the northern flows of Coal Creek and Thompson Creek to the southern reaches of Frase Creek.

Industrial activity is evident in the scattered Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit locations, supporting the local infrastructure like North Fk Rd and Lucas Creek Road. The Willamette Meridian serves as a primary surveying benchmark here, cutting through the western sections near the headwaters of Hanaford Creek and Mitchell Creek, illustrating the precise grid-based division of this timber and resource-heavy region during the mid-1980s.
