1998 Map of Stabler

About this map

The Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this 1998 landscape, revealing a highly managed and scientific approach to the timberlands of southwest Washington. At its heart lies the Wind River Experimental Forest and the Wind River Arboretum, representing some of the earliest forestry research in the Pacific Northwest. The settlement of Stabler serves as a small hub amidst the dense terrain, positioned near the confluence of Martha Creek and the Wind River. To the north, the Carson National Fish Hatchery utilizes Little Soda Spring and the river's flow for conservation efforts. This map documents a period of transition where traditional resources meet modern recreation and conservation, evidenced by the presence of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the southern reach of the Yacolt Burn State Forest.
