This map shows topography and major streams and rivers
in the area around the volcano. Years before the volcano
started rumbling, geologists had produced a map showing
areas that have been covered by ash and mudflows from
Mount St. Helens over the past 4000 years. Evacuation
planners consulted this map to help them decide which
areas around the volcano were dangerous.
