1989 Map of Purcell Mtn.

About this map

The Cowlitz River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, serving as a primary drainage for the complex network of creeks that define the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This late 1980s provisional survey documents a transition from the river valley floor to high peaks like Purcell Mtn and Pompey Peak. Cultural markers are concentrated near the river, including the Cora Bridge and a localized Trailer Park, contrasting with the high-elevation wilderness of Little Paradise. The map tracks several resource-related sites, such as a Quarry and Barrow Pit, alongside natural curiosities like The Pothole. Hydrological details are dense, following named tributaries like Silver Creek and South Fork Willame Creek through the steep terrain of Whalehead Ridge and Davis Mountain.
