1954 Map of Battle Ground

About this map

Battle Ground Road anchors this mid-century survey of Clark County, which illustrates the transition from a dispersed rural landscape to more defined settlement hubs. The East Fork Lewis River snakes through the northern half, passing Lewisville Park and several youth landmarks like Camp Juliana and a Boy Scout Camp. A network of small communities and crossroads, such as Charter Oak, Dollar Corner, and Meadow Glade, shows how the region was organized before modern suburban expansion. For those researching local education and community history, the map notes the Bee Tree Sch (Aband) and Columbia Academy. The Longview Portland and Northern railroad line runs through the southern section, tracing the industrial connectivity that linked these timber and agricultural areas to the wider Pacific Northwest economy.
