1970 Map of Steamboat Mtn.

About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this topographic study, revealing a high-elevation landscape defined by glacial meadows and volcanic peaks. The Lewis River Trail and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail provide the primary transit through this terrain, connecting remote waypoints like the Island Shelter and the alpine Steamboat Lake. The drainage network is complex, featuring the upper reaches of the Lewis River and Trout Lake Creek, alongside prominent vertical drops such as Twin Falls. Evidence of localized resource extraction appears at the Williams Mine and several Gravel Pits, while expansive clearings like Grand Meadows and Swampy Meadows illustrate the natural openings within the dense forest canopy. The prominence of Steamboat Mtn and Table Mtn. provide significant landmarks for navigating this portion of the Washington Cascades as it was surveyed in 1970.
