1957 Map of Husum

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The White Salmon River cuts through this Klickitat County landscape, shaping a region defined by agricultural flats and significant vertical relief. At the time of this 1957 field check, small communities like Husum, Snowden, and Appleton served as localized hubs for the surrounding timber and ranching activities. The high elevation of Quigley Butte and Gross Mtn contrasts sharply with the expansive Camas Prairie, where a drainage network including Prairie Creek and Holmes Creek supports the valley floor. Evidence of early 20th-century rural infrastructure is preserved here, from the Mountain Brook School to the various millponds near Gilmer. The eastern edge of the map is dominated by The Plateau, while several isolated springs such as Willard Spring and Chapman Spring suggest the critical importance of water rights and management in this high-country environment.
