About this map

The Chehalis River and its southern fork carve through this mid-century landscape of Lewis County, where the Northern Pacific Railroad defines the corridor of commerce and travel. The settlement of Adna sits at a focal point near Millburn and Littell, surrounded by the rising elevations of Ceres Hill and the Cook Hills. In the north, Galvin and Fords Prairie mark the transition toward broader valley lands, while the southern reaches become more industrial and rural near Camp McDonald and the Boistfort community.

Local heritage is anchored by the presence of the Claquato Church and nearby Claquato Cemetery, standing as landmarks of early regional organization. The map documents a hybrid economy of timber and extraction, evidenced by the Meskill Pit and various quarries, alongside public recreational spaces like Rainbow Falls State Park. The intricate network of creeks, such as Lincoln Creek and Bunker Creek, illustrates the drainage patterns that dictated the placement of schools like Boistfort Sch and community hubs like Crego Grange.
