About this map

Nesika and Alta Vista anchor the northern landscape of this Lewis County region, where the broad waters of Riffe Lake dominate the terrain. The lake is fed by a network of drainage systems including Sulphur Cr and the waters passing beneath the Nesika Bridge. This map illustrates the transition from the high elevations of Green Mtn and Winters Mtn down through steep features like Steel Canyon.

The southern portion of the quadrangle marks the boundary between Lewis and Cowlitz counties, following the course of the Green River. Remote water sources such as Soda Spring and numerous tributaries like Elk Cr and Winston Cr define the rugged hydrology of the area. Land surveyors and local historians can trace the intricate section lines of the Public Land Survey System, including Township 11 North, Range 4 East, across this forested terrain.
