1971 Map of Amboy

About this map

Amboy and the surrounding timberlands of northern Clark County are defined by the sharp transition from the Chelatchie Prairie to the steep slopes of Green Mountain. This 1971 survey captures the region's industrial and agricultural balance, featuring the Chelatchie Prairie RR line serving the small community of Chelatchie, where a Ranger Station and Landing Strip are situated. To the north, the Lewis River is impounded to form Lake Merwin, a massive water body that reshaped the local topography and created recreational hubs like Woodland Park. The map documents a working landscape of resource extraction and infrastructure, indicated by numerous sites like Maple Pit and the State Fish Hatchery. Local family names are preserved through the rural road network, including Eaton Road and Worthington Road, providing valuable context for genealogical research in this Pacific Northwest corridor.
