About this map

Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this landscape in Lewis County, where the high ridges of the Cascades create a complex drainage network. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Stahl Mountain, Ladd Mountain, and the namesake formation known as The Rockies. Waters flow from these heights into major systems like the Nisqually River and the upper reaches of the Deschutes River, with numerous smaller tributaries such as Scatter Creek and Wildcat Creek cutting through the steep slopes.

Evidence of resource management and recreational geography is visible throughout the area, which is partly Administered by Gifford Pinchot National Forest. High-elevation water bodies like Goose Lake and Duck Lake sit among the timbered basins, while an isolated Quarry indicates localized industrial activity. The map traces the intricate paths of Winston Creek and Johnson Creek, illustrating the dense hydrological web of this Washington forestland during the late twentieth century.
