About this map

The White Salmon River carves through this late 20th-century landscape, serving as a focal point for the mountain drainage systems of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This 1998 revision of earlier topographical data highlights the intersection of forestry management and recreational use at the base of the Mt Adams Wilderness. The settlement of Trout Lake is situated near the southern boundary, where the river meets the namesake Trout Lake and a series of agricultural and utility features, including an aqueduct and a local landing strip.

Evidence of early-to-mid-century infrastructure is visible in the placement of several gaging stations and the Wicky Creek Shelter. The map also captures specialized Forest Service sites like the Trout Lake Big Trees Interpretive Site and the Mount Adams Horse Camp. Peaks such as Flattop Mountain, topped by the Flattop Lookout, and Haystack Butte provide clear landmarks for navigating this complex system of ridges and canyons.
