About this map

Willard and its industrial surroundings sit at a junction of conservation and history in Skamania County during the mid-1990s. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the volcanic expanse of the Big Lava Bed and the managed lands of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Water resources dominate the settlement pattern, with the Little White Salmon River and Rock Creek carving through the Monte Cristo Range.

Evidence of the local timber and hatcher economy is visible at the Willard National Fish Hatchery and the Willard Work Center, while local heritage is preserved at the Cem near Mill A Flat. Further south, the map captures a portion of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, where the terrain rises toward Augspurger Mtn. This period shows the region's complex mix of forest service infrastructure, small settlements like Underwood, and public spaces like Big Cedars County Park.
