1987 Map of The Rockies

About this map

The Rockies and the surrounding high country of Lewis County are defined by a complex network of glacial headwaters and timber management sites during the late 1980s. This landscape serves as a hydrological divide, where the Nisqually River and the Little Deschutes River originate amidst peaks like Stahl Mountain and Ladd Mountain. The map illustrates the administrative transition between the Snoqualmie National Forest and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, with a terrain marked by numerous resource extraction sites such as several labeled Borrow Pits and a Quarry. Significant water features like Goose Lake and Duck Lake sit within the drainage basins of Winston Creek and the Tilton River, while the presence of named creeks like Wildcat Creek and Scatter Creek highlights the dense drainage patterns of this Pacific Northwest timberland before modern reforestation changed the visual profile of these mountains.
