About this map

Mount Rainier National Park and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape, where ice and elevation define the topography. The northern reaches are dominated by the Unicorn Glacier beneath Unicorn Peak and Boundary Peak, while the central terrain is marked by the Tatoosh Range and the high Tatoosh Lakes. Local infrastructure is concentrated in the southern valleys, where Skate Creek Rd S and Terrace Way provide access to the Cowlitz River corridor.

Evidence of local history and backcountry management appears through the Tatoosh Ridge Lookout and the Evergreen Cem near the small settlement of Big Bottom. The drainage network is dense with named features like Hinkle Tinkle Cr, Teardrop Cr, and Butter Cr, illustrating the complex watershed of the Tatoosh Ridge. The transition from glacial peaks to valley roads like Cannon Rd shows the sharp descent from wilderness to the edge of Lewis County communities.
