About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this 1970 study of high-elevation terrain in Skamania County, revealing a landscape defined by water and forest management. The area is dense with remote mountain lakes including Lake Wapiki, Lake Concomly, and the cluster at Hidden Lakes. This survey captures the infrastructure of the mid-century wilderness experience, marking established sites like Little Goose Campground and Smoky Creek Campground alongside industrial features such as scattered Gravel Pits.

Transport through this part of the Cascades is limited to a network of Pack Trails, Jeep Trails, and specialized forest roads, converging at points like Tire Junction. Notable natural landmarks such as Sleeping Beauty and Langfield Falls anchor the topography. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of land use and recreational development before modern expansion, preserving the locations of specific vista points like Indian View Point and expansive openings like Deadhorse Meadow.
