1957 Map of Wind River

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest defines this mid-century landscape in Skamania County, where the Wind River cuts through a densely wooded terrain of volcanic buttes and experimental forestry. The map documents the extensive infrastructure of the Wind River Experimental Forest and the Wind River Natural Area, including the Hemlock Ranger Sta and a dedicated Fish Hatchery. Human settlement is concentrated at Stabler and Warren Gap, while the surrounding wilderness is marked by numerous recreation sites like Government Mineral Springs and Little Soda Springs Forest Camp. The geography is characterized by prominent peaks like Bunker Hill and Big Butte, alongside unique geological features including Lava Caves and the Lava Bed to the east. This survey captures a moment of intensive federal forest management, showing a network of fire lookouts and forest camps before later wilderness designations altered the management of these lands.
