About this map

The Columbia River serves as the focal point for this survey, defining the border between Washington and Oregon as it flows past Kalama and Carrolls. The landscape is a study in riverfront logistics and industrial transit, featuring the Great Northern RR and major navigational aids like the Kalama Upper Range and Kalama Lower Range. These markers help guide vessels around features like Cottonwood Island and Sandy Island in the main channel.

Away from the water, the terrain rises into the highlands of Mt Pleasant and Green Mountain, where family and community history is anchored by the Mount Pleasant Cem and the Kalama Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. Rural life is etched into the hillsides along the Coweeman River and Kalama River, with small clusters of development at Rose Valley and Vision Acres connected by historic routes like the Old Pacific Hwy S.
