2017 Map of Wildwood

About this map

The South Fork Chehalis River winds through the heart of this Lewis County landscape, defining a valley where the settlement of Wildwood sits along the road that shares its name. The terrain is a complex network of drainage basins, with numerous creeks such as Stillwater Cr, Lentz Cr, and Brim Cr carving out the timbered hillsides. To the south, the community of Ryderwood is positioned near the Cowlitz County line, adjacent to Ryderwood Pond and the headwaters of Becker Cr. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Snow Cem tucked below Snow Cr and named elevations including Point Hill and Pumphrey Mtn. The map illustrates a region where life follows the contours of the water, from the higher elevations of Stony Grade down to the alluvial floor at Cougar Flat.
