1926 Map of Steamboat Mtn

About this map

The Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this mid-1920s survey, illustrating a landscape of high-altitude resource management and seasonal work camps. The network of lookout stations, including Steamboat Mtn Lookout Sta and Hamilton Buttes Lookout Sta, highlights the early fire-protection infrastructure essential to the region's timber and wildlife conservation. Remote settlements and outpost stations like Tower Rock Ranger Sta and the Berry Patch Ranger Sta serve as the primary human hubs within a terrain defined by the Cispus River and the Lewis River.
