1953 Map of Cougar

About this map

Cougar sits at the northern edge of Yale Lake on the Clark and Cowlitz county line, serving as a hub for the drainage basins of the Kalama River and the South Fork Toutle River. This 1950s survey captures the area within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest when forestry and conservation infrastructure was densifying. The map identifies the Kalama Ranger Sta and the North Fork Ranger Sta (Abandoned), alongside industry markers like a Sawmill and a Fish Hatchery near the lake.
