About this map

Silver Lake serves as the centerpiece of this Cowlitz County landscape, surrounded by several distinct islands including Goat Island, Indian Island, and Waldon Island. The settlement of Silver Lake sits on the northern shore near the expansive Seaquest State Park, a significant recreation area. To the north, the Toutle River snakes through the terrain, passing through the dramatic Hollywood Gorge and alongside the Wilkes Hills.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds documented, including Township Cem, Rosin Cem, and Silver Lake Cem. The map reveals a network of rural roads such as Tower Rd and S Silver Lake Rd that connect the shoreline communities to the surrounding timberlands and creeks. Numerous watercourses like Sucker Creek, Stankey Creek, and Salmon Creek drain into the lake and river, illustrating the complex hydrology of this Pacific Northwest environment.
