1968 Map of Douglas

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Douglas sits on the northeastern edge of this late-1960s survey, a small settlement located where the Burlington Northern railroad meets the winding course of Douglas Creek. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic elevation change between the high, relatively flat Waterville Plateau and the deeply incised drainage systems of Badger Mountain. This transition is marked by numerous seasonal flows and steep ravines, such as Titchenal Canyon and Ruud Canyon, which illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of this part of Washington. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the Badger Mtn Cem and several family-named landmarks like Bevington Canyon and McGinnis Canyon. The presence of a Gaging Station and various storage bins reflects the area's ongoing management of water resources and agricultural output during this era.
