2014 Map of Packwood

About this map

Packwood serves as the central hub of this mountain landscape, situated along the Cowlitz River within the vast expanse of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The 2014 survey documents the modern layout of the community, featuring the Packwood Airport and a network of forest development roads that reach deep into the surrounding high country. To the north, the terrain transitions into the area known as Big Bottom, while the southern portion of the map is defined by prominent geological features like Goat Dike, Skyo Mtn, and the high-elevation Burton Meadows. This map illustrates the intersection of recreation and geography, tracing watercourses such as Skate Creek and Johnson Creek as they descend toward the river valley. Genealogists and historians can use these records to locate specific landmarks like Dry Creek Pass or the remote waters of Bivin Lake and Hager Lake.
