About this map

The Gifford Pinchot National Forest defines this landscape in Lewis County, dominated by the prominent monolith of Tower Rock. The Cispus River cuts through the center of the sheet, joined by the N Fork Cispus River as it flows past high points like Bishop Mtn and Tongue Mountain. This modern survey details a complex network of forest access points, including the Randle-Trout Lake Road and the high-elevation crossing at High Bridge.

Natural landmarks and recreational features are densely mapped, from the archaeological site at Layser Cave to the cascading waters of Covel Creek Falls and the Angle Falls Loop. The topography is shaped by dramatic ridgelines such as Juniper Ridge and Langille Ridge, which enclose secluded water bodies like Lone Tree Lake and the Tower Rock Beaver Ponds. The map also captures the boundary between Lewis and Skamania counties along the southern reaches of Burley Mountain.
