About this map

The Little White Salmon River and Little Wind River carve through the heavily forested landscapes of Skamania County, defining the settlement patterns found on this 2023 survey. The community of Willard is established along the eastern riverbank, while the Willard National Fish Hatchery represents a significant local landmark dedicated to the region's aquatic ecology. To the south, the clearings at Mill A and Mill A Flat indicate the area's historical reliance on timber and milling, situated near the confluence of Rock Creek.

High-elevation terrain dominates the center of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, including notable peaks such as Augspurger Mtn, Hauk Butte, and Shingle Mtn. The geology of the northwest corner is distinguished by the Big Lava Bed, a specialized volcanic feature that contrasts with the surrounding drainage basins of Berry Creek and Lusk Creek. Remote access points like Triangle Pass and the N604 S Prairie road network provide the primary means of navigating this steep, wooded environment.
