1984 Map of Spirit Lake West

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominate this 1984 survey, which documents a landscape fundamentally altered by the 1980 eruption. The map includes a critical geographic reference for the North Fork Toutle River (Pre-Eruption Channel), marking the former path of the waterway before volcanic debris transformed the drainage. New features like Coldwater Lake appear alongside established high-elevation water bodies such as St Helens Lake and the massive Spirit Lake. The terrain is punctuated by sharp summits including Minnie Peak, Mount Whittier, and The Dome. Several human-made elements are noted, such as a Quarry and multiple Borrow Pit sites, used during recovery and road-building efforts in the blast zone. The sheet provides a clear record of the boundary between Cowlitz and Skamania counties amidst the recovering wilderness.
