About this map

B Z Corner serves as the primary settlement hub within this high-elevation landscape, situated at the junction where the White Salmon River carves through the eastern portion of the map. The terrain is defined by the prominent Monte Cristo Range and its notable spur, Penny Ridge, which overlooks a complex network of forest roads and drainages. A significant portion of the west is protected within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, where the boundary between Skamania and Klickitat counties traverses high points like Nestor Peak and Whistling Ridge.

Evidence of fire watch history and resource management is visible at Little Baldy Peak Lookout and the Little Baldy LOH. The drainage patterns of Buck Creek and its many forks illustrate the steep, dissected nature of the country north of Underwood Mtn. Transportation is anchored by State Hwy 141, while numerous secondary routes like Lacock Kelchner Rd and Graves Rd provide access to interior landmarks like Cedar Swamp and Mill Flat.
