About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this topographic study of the southern Cascade Range on the border of Clark and Skamania counties. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, centering on prominent summits like Siouxon Peak and Huffman Peak. Deep drainage basins for Siouxon Creek and Canyon Creek create a complex network of ridgelines and ravines, with significant recreational infrastructure visible such as the Canyon Creek Campground and the Horseshoe Ridge Trail.

The mapping reveals the industrial and environmental management of the late 20th century, noting features like a Quarry and the geological signatures of Lava Creek and the steep Horseshoe Ridge. The presence of numerous land survey markers, indicated by PB (Protracted Block) labels, highlights the ongoing efforts to formalize boundaries within these National Forest System lands. This record captures a moment of balance between resource extraction and the preservation of the forest's rugged hydrology, including North Siouxon Creek and West Creek.
