About this map

The Lewis River and its East Fork Lewis River define the northern and western margins of this Clark County landscape, where the floodplain gives way to the rising elevations of Allen Canyon. At the turn of the 1990s, the western edge is dominated by the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, protecting complex wetland systems including Mud Lake, Carty Lake, and Campbell Lake. A network of levees and a Drawbridge facilitate navigation and land management near the riverbanks.

Inland, the map traces the rural development of Ridgefield, La Center, and smaller settlements like Pioneer and Sara. For the local historian, family names are preserved through a grid of rural routes such as O'Leary Road, Ayers Road, and Sutton Road. Notable landmarks include Mount Zion Cemetery, the riverside Paradise Point State Park, and several public spaces like Abrams Park and Whipple Creek Park.
