1986 Map of Siouxon Peak

About this map

Hickmans Cabin sits deep within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest during the mid-1980s, marking one of the few human structures in this densely topographical landscape. The area is defined by sharp elevation changes and high summits, including Siouxon Peak, Huffman Peak, and the descriptive Sorehead point. A network of waterways, primarily Siouxon Creek and its many tributaries like North Siouxon Creek and West Horseshoe Creek, carve out the deep ravines shown here. Industrial activity is limited to a Borrow Pit and a Quarry near the western boundary between Clark and Skamania counties. Several footbridges are indicated over the creeks, suggesting a landscape primarily accessed by trail rather than developed roads, typical of the managed forest regions of the southern Washington Cascades in this era.
