About this map

The White Salmon River cuts through the rugged landscape of Klickitat County, anchoring the small settlement of B Z Corner and the surrounding timberlands. This 2011 survey captures the area just before the significant environmental transformation following the decommissioning of Condit Dam. The resulting Northwestern Lake and its nearby access points, including Lakeview Rd and Wallace Rd, are clearly delineated.

Elevations range from the high points of Nestor Peak and Penny Ridge to the low-lying Cedar Swamp and Mill B Flat. The map provides a detailed look at the infrastructure of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest area, marking recreational and utilitarian sites like Oklahoma Campground, Middle Fork Camp, and the lookout at Little Baldy LOH. Family-named landmarks such as McIlroy Canyon and McIlroy Saddle speak to the local history of the White Salmon valley.
