About this map

The East Fork Lewis River snakes through the center of this mid-century Washington landscape, anchoring a network of small agricultural settlements and timber-adjacent communities. The town of Battle Ground serves as the primary hub, where the Northern Pacific railroad line intersects with the Battle Ground Road. This period survey highlights several distinct rural corners such as Dollar Corner, Scotton Corner, and Charter Oak, each reflecting the organized settlement patterns of Clark County.

Education and youth recreation are prominent features on the sheet, from the Bee Tree Sch (Aband) in the north to the Columbia Academy near Meadow Glade. Along the river, Lewisville Park and its Footbridge sit near established camps, including Camp Juliana (Girl Scout Camp) and a Boy Scout Camp. Genealogists will find value in the clearly marked Lewisville Cem and Dublin Cemetery, alongside family-named landmarks like King Corner.
