1953 Map of Elk Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Cowlitz River and the North Fork Toutle River define the industrial and natural drainage of this southwest Washington landscape. Logistical footprints of the mid-century timber industry are prominent, with several logging camps including Camp Baker, Camp 9, and Camp 10 established deep within the timber stands. High-altitude watchfulness is noted at the Coyote Mtn Lookout and Elk Rock Lookout, while localized industry is evidenced by a Shingle Mill and Gravel Pit near the northern border. Small riverside settlements like Nesika and Alta Vista sit near the river bends, connected by a network of private and logging roads. The southern portion is dominated by the Green Mountain Range, while the Spirit Lake Highway provides a primary corridor through the valley before the landscape was fundamentally altered by volcanic activity in later decades.
