Cowlitz County Profile
Printer Version
About this area:
Cowlitz
and Wahkiakum counties are situated in southwest Washington. To the north are Lewis and Pacific counties and to the east, Skamania County. Southeast of Cowlitz County, the Lewis River forms a boundary with Clark County. On the south and southwest border of both counties is the Columbia River, with Oregon State on the other side. Both counties' topography is very similar-mostly hilly, reaching elevations of around 1,000 feet above sea level.
