1984 Map of Toutle Mtn.

About this map

The North Fork Toutle River and the South Fork Toutle River define the sharp, deeply incised drainages of the Toutle Mountain Range in this 1980s landscape. This survey, based on aerial photographs taken shortly after the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, documents the region's topography during a critical period of geographic change. Small settlements like Kid Valley and Maple Flat are situated along the northern watercourses, while the high elevations are dominated by Toutle Mtn and Signal Peak. The abundance of Borrow Pits and Quarries throughout the mountains suggests an era of significant earth-moving activity and infrastructure maintenance. Of particular note is the Alder Creek Rearing Pond, reflecting the area's focus on fisheries along the Alder Creek and the Green River corridors.
