About this map

The North Fork Toutle River and the South Fork Toutle River carve through the deep drainages of Cowlitz County in this early 1980s topographical survey. These river valleys define the lower elevations where small settlements like Kid Valley and St. Helens are established. The landscape is dominated by the Toutle Mountain Range, with Toutle Mtn and Signal Peak serving as significant high points. Numerous resource extraction sites, marked as Quarry and Borrow Pits, are scattered across the terrain, indicating the ongoing industrial use of the land.

Water management and natural features appear in detail, including the Green River at the northern edge and specialized sites like the Alder Creek Rearing Pond. The map shows a network of creeks, such as Johnson Creek and Pullen Creek, that feed into the larger river systems. Significant flatlands like Maple Flat provide a break in the steep topography, suggesting areas of historical or environmental interest along the river bends.
