1983 Map of Husum

About this map

The White Salmon River cuts a prominent path through this Klickitat County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Husum. In the early 1980s, the area's geography was defined by a complex network of drainages including Rattlesnake Creek, Tum Tum Creek, and Gilmer Creek, which navigate the elevation changes between Locke Hill and Tracy Hill. The mapping reveals a rural infrastructure where a Substation and prominent Transmission Line intersect with older landmarks like the Golf Course. Small communities and named locales such as Gilmer, McCoy Flat, and Laws Corner provide specific points of reference for genealogists tracing local families. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a widespread Ditch system suggests a landscape shaped by both natural water flow and industrial resource extraction.
