2020 Map of Spencer Butte

About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this Skamania County landscape, where the Lewis River flows past landmarks like Lower Falls and the curiously named Cussed Hollow. The area is defined by high-elevation features including Spencer Butte, Spencer Peak, and Craggy Peak, while seasonal clearings like Spencer Meadow and Wright Meadow break the dense timberline. The Randle-Lewis River corridor provides the primary transit route through this terrain, connecting various public land tracts and surveying sections. The mapping of Snyder Pasture and several unnamed bluff points suggests a history of livestock grazing and early forest management within the national forest boundaries. This 2020 record captures the modern topographical state of the Southern Cascades, reflecting the established network of forest roads and the preservation of watershed systems such as Elk Cr and Clear Cr.
