1941 Map of Camas
USGS Topo · Published 1941About this map
The Columbia River forms the central artery of this landscape, separating the developing riverfront industrial sites of Camas and Washougal in Washington from the agricultural flats and river landings of Oregon. The map documents the complex water systems of the region, from the Camas Water Works Dam in the hills to the numerous lakes and sloughs like Lacamas Lake and Steigerwald Lake. The presence of the Camp Bonneville Military Reservation and the Silver Star Mine high on the ridges of Larch Mountain suggests the diverse land use of the era, from defense and extraction to the rural school network including Grass Valley Sch and Fir Grove Sch. Transportation is defined by the Spokane Portland and Seattle Ry and the Union Pacific, which parallel the river and connect settlements like Troutdale and Fairview.
