About this map

Cora stands at a crossing of the Cowlitz River, where the Cora Bridge connects local transport routes like Davis Creek Rd and Carr Rd. This landscape in Lewis County is defined by prominent peaks and ridges, including Purcell Mountain and Whalehead Ridge in the west, and Davis Mountain further east. The topography is deeply carved by water systems such as Davis Creek and Karr Creek, which feed into the Cowlitz valley.

Evidence of recreational and high-elevation land use is visible at the Maple Leaf Campground and the Pompey Peak Lookout, situated on a southern summit. Smaller settlements and named locales like Little Paradise sit among the slopes of Prairie Mountain, while unique geological features such as The Pothole and Willame Lake dot the northern terrain. The map's network of forest service roads, such as NFD 342 Rd, highlights the region's managed woodland character.
