1994 Map of Spirit Lake East

About this map

The Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument dominates this landscape, showing a recovery in progress following the 1980 eruption. Several interpretive locations, including the Miners Car Interpretive Site and Meta Lake Interpretive Site, document the immediate and long-term effects of the volcanic event on the surrounding Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This survey captures the terrain's state in the mid-1990s, where viewpoints like Harmony Viewpoint and Donnybrook Viewpoint overlook the changed waters of Spirit Lake. The map details a network of mountain trails and forest roads reaching high points such as Goat Mountain and Bismarck Mountain. Notable water features like Harmony Falls and Ryan Lake are situated among the ridges, providing a clear record of the area's hydrology before further natural successions occurred.
