About this map

Winlock and Vader anchor this section of Lewis County, where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor tracks alongside Olequa Creek. The landscape transitions from the developed town centers to the fertile basins of Grand Prairie Creek and the banks of the Cowlitz River in the south. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Winlock Cem and the Stillwater Little Falls Cemetery, providing specific points of interest for researchers tracking family roots in the region.

The presence of rural infrastructure, such as the Landing Strip near Drews Creek and prominent rises like Finn Hill, illustrates the mixed land use between agriculture and timber. Smaller settlements like Olequa and Agren reflect the historical sprawl of logging and rail-dependent communities. Landmarks like Mt. St. Helens High Sch. and various family-named roads like Ferrier Road and Mandy Road offer a detailed perspective on the mid-1980s local geography.
