1956 Map of Greenwater

About this map

The Northern Pacific railroad corridor dictates the settlement pattern across this mountainous landscape, connecting a string of small stations and communities along the Green River. Early 20th-century outposts like Nagrom, Lester, and Humphrey appear as vital nodes in the timber and transport network of the Cascades. Further south, the landscape shifts toward the drainage of the White River and Greenwater River, where recreation and forestry management take precedence at sites like Federation Forest State Park and the Twin Creeks Guard Sta.
