2013 Map of Silver Lake

About this map

Silver Lake dominates the landscape of this Cowlitz County region, its irregular shoreline dotted with islands and points including Waldon Island, Goat Island, and Timber Point. North of the lake, the Toutle River carves through the dramatic Hollywood Gorge, a sharp contrast to the surrounding ridges of the Wilkes Hills. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Silver Lake Cem, Rosin Cem, and Tower Cem offers specific locations for family research near the established settlements of Silver Lake and Lake Acres. The area's development is marked by a complex network of forest and residential roads, such as Toutle River Road and Tower Rd, serving rural outposts like Camp Cowlitz. This survey captures the intersection of recreation and industry in a territory defined by its winding waterways and timber-rich hillsides.
