About this map

The settlement of Packwood sits at a critical junction where the Cowlitz River meets high mountain terrain. This 2011 survey illustrates the community's layout near the Packwood Airport, with a grid of local roads like Lewis Rd and Skate Creek Rd providing access to the river valley. The landscape is defined by its verticality, rising from the riverbanks toward prominent landmarks such as Skyo Mountain and Hall Ridge.

High-altitude features like Dry Creek Lookout Tower and the South Point Lookout suggest a history of forest surveillance and recreation. Hikers and researchers can trace trails and forest roads leading to remote points like Dry Creek Pass and Burton Meadows, or find secluded water bodies such as Snyder Lake and Hager Lake. The drainage patterns of Smith Creek and Johnson Creek are clearly delineated, showing how the local topography directs water toward the valley floor near Jennings Falls.
