About this map

Trout Lake Cemetery stands near the northern edge of this high country landscape, marking a point of quiet history above the White Salmon River. The terrain is defined by deep cuts and prominent rises, from the heights of Quigley Butte and Gross Mountain to the sunken corridors of Stoller Canyon and Elmer Canyon. This section of Klickitat County shows a rural network where the small settlement of Laurel sits at the intersection of backcountry routes like the BZ Glenwood Hwy and Trout Lake Hwy.

Water moves through the region via numerous drainages, including Outlet Creek, Gilmer Creek, and Holmes Creek, which feed into the larger river systems. The map details a transition between high meadows like Trout Lake Valley and Bear Valley, providing a look at the land's utility and the scattered springs, such as Little Mud Spring and Chapman Spring, that have long supported life in this part of Washington.
