About this map

The Columbia River defines the western edge of this landscape, where industrial activity at the Port of Kalama Marina meets the rugged elevations of the Pacific Northwest. The settlement of Kalama serves as a focal point along the riverbank, balanced by the inland residential clusters of Rose Valley and Vision Acres. Moving away from the water, the topography rises sharply toward Carrolls Hill and Battle Mountain, revealing a network of creeks like Hatchery Creek and Cedar Creek that drain the timbered uplands.

Local history is preserved in the placement of the Rose Valley Cemetery and Mount Pleasant Cemetery, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The map details a transition from the maritime environment of Carrolls Channel and Sandy Island to the higher peaks of Green Mountain. Transportation routes follow the natural contours of the land, connecting smaller landings like Hoffman Landing to the broader regional infrastructure.
