1954 Map of Battle Ground

About this map

The East Fork Lewis River snakes through the center of this Clark County landscape, defining the transition from the rolling southern farmland to the more dissected northern hills. During the mid-century, the area around Battle Ground served as a vital local hub, connected by the Burlington Northern railroad. The map documents a cluster of small rural communities and crossroads such as Charter Oak, Dollar Corner, and Meadow Glade, which supported the surrounding agricultural and timber operations.
