1994 Map of Husum

About this map

The White Salmon Wild and Scenic River carves a deep path through this corner of Klickitat County, defining the local landscape near the settlement of Husum. Revised from 1993 aerial photography, the map reveals a region of transition where the Gifford Pinchot National Forest meets private timber and ranch lands. Small rural outposts like Gilmer and Laws Corner are connected by a network of forest roads and historic routes such as Snowden Road and Bristol Road. In the south, the terrain descends toward the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, marked by the steep drainages of Major Creek and Jewett Creek. This cartographic record is particularly valuable for tracing local land use, from the GPNF Substation and various Gravel Pits to the recreational Golf Course and the unnamed Cemetery situated on the ridge overlooking the river valley.
