About this map

Tower Rock stands as the central landmark in this 1990s survey of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, where the Cispus River carves through the timbered landscape. The area is defined by its educational and recreational infrastructure, notably the Cispus Environmental Learning Center and the Yellowjacket Pond Day Use Site. The map documents a complex network of hydrological features, including Yellowjacket Creek and the North Fork Cispus River, which meet amidst the peaks of Lone Tree Mtn and Bishop Mtn.

A significant administrative boundary between Lewis Co and Skamania Co is recorded in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. For those studying land use, the map indicates specific forest service sites like the North Fork Group Campground and various gaging stations, illustrating the active management of the river system during this era. The terrain is marked by notable peaks like Burley Mtn and Tongue Mtn, providing a precise look at the geography of the southern Washington Cascades.
