1941 Map of Gate

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The Chehalis River and Black River valleys form the heart of this landscape, where four major rail lines converge near the settlement of Gate. In the early 1940s, this region was a busy intersection of logging operations and rail transport, evidenced by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern lines threading through Rochester and Grand Mound. To the north, the timbered slopes of the Black Hills and Capitol Peak overlook the Mason County Logging Co Camp No 4 and the Capitol Forest Nursery, indicating the area's industrial reliance on the surrounding forests. Local life is anchored by rural landmarks like the Michigan Hill Sch, the State Training School for Girls, and various family homesteads such as Meyer Bros Ranch and Johnson Farm. The map also captures the sprawling Mound Prairie and the Indian Reservation south of Oakville.
