About this map

Spencer Butte Lookout and Clear Creek Lookout anchor this high-elevation forest landscape in Skamania County, illustrating the infrastructure required for fire surveillance in the Pacific Northwest. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and drainage systems, where Clear Creek and Wright Creek flow through their respective meadows before eventually reaching the Lewis River.

Public access and recreation are central to the area's modern character, highlighted by the Lower Falls Campground near the dramatic Lower Falls. Established observation points like Clearwater Overlook and the Mount Adams Viewpoint suggest the significant vistas available from these ridges. The map also records locally named features such as Cussed Hollow and Breezy Point, adding layers of vernacular history to the topographic record of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest region.
