About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest covers this landscape in the southern Cascade Range, spanning the border between Clark Co and Skamania Co. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Siouxon Peak, Huffman Peak, and Calamity Peak, which rise above a complex network of drainages. A system of Forest Service roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 57 and Nat For Dev Rd 53, provides access through the timbered slopes and across the high ground of Horseshoe Ridge.

Watercourses like Siouxon Creek, Canyon Creek, and Horseshoe Creek carve through the deep valleys, illustrating the drainage patterns of the Lewis River watershed. This survey captures the land's transition from the western edge of the National Forest into the rugged backcountry. Evidence of timber management and forest recreation is seen in the named landmarks like West Point and the access routes such as Gumboot Rd that thread through the townships.
