1912 Map of Beverly

About this map

Columbia River canyon walls and the high plateaus of central Washington dominate this landscape at a time when the region was primarily shaped by the arrival of the railroad. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific line cuts through the center of the map, establishing the town of Beverly as a key crossing point near where Crab Creek meets the river. This rail corridor supported small ranching and farming outposts like Jericho and Eberly, which were serviced by local institutions such as Pleasant Hill School 21 and Mountain View School.
