About this map

The Coweeman River and the South Fork Toutle River carve through the heavily forested uplands of Cowlitz County in this early 1980s field-checked study. The landscape is dominated by industrial resource extraction and rugged topography, evidenced by numerous Borrow Pit sites scattered across the terrain. Human activity is largely limited to the former location of Camp Coweeman (Site) and primitive access via Rose Valley Rd.

A complex network of tributary streams, such as Little Baird Creek, Big Wolf Creek, and Whitten Creek, drains the high ground around peaks like Wolf Point, Baird Mtn, and Nineteen Mtn. The presence of Washboard Falls on the Coweeman River highlights the area's natural drop in elevation. This document is particularly valuable for researchers tracing the history of local logging operations and the evolution of the backcountry road network in the years following the 1980 eruption of nearby Mount St. Helens.
