1984 Map of Vanson Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Vanson Peak rises above a landscape defined by the recovery and protection of the Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This 1980s survey captures the area following the 1980 eruption, including a notable zone of blowdown that illustrates the force of the volcanic event. The northern portion of the map is dominated by Riffe Lake, an artificial reservoir on the Cowlitz River, showing an area subject to inundation at the 779-foot contour. Waterways like the Green River, Goat Creek, and Landers Creek carve through the high-elevation terrain, while high mountain features such as Vanson Meadow, Vanson Lake, and Deadmans Lake provide key reference points for those tracing the history of the Washington Cascades. The presence of several borrow pits and a dedicated Pack Trail suggest the ongoing management of this protected wilderness during the early 1980s.
