1958 Map of Hoquiam

About this map

Grays Harbor and the Columbia River anchor this 1958 survey, capturing the industrial and maritime character of Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon. The map illustrates a landscape dominated by timber and transport, where the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads intersect with burgeoning hubs like Hoquiam, Aberdeen, and Centralia. In the east, the volcanic presence of Mt St Helens looms over the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, while the massive Fort Lewis Military Reservation occupies the northern reaches.
