2013 Map of Kelso

About this map

Longview and Kelso anchor this riverfront landscape at the confluence of the Cowlitz River and the Columbia River. The map reveals the sophisticated urban planning of central Longview, defined by the winding waters of Lake Sacajawea and the established neighborhoods of Columbia Valley Gardens and Huntington Rock. Beyond the industrial and commercial core, the terrain rises into residential hillsides including Beacon Hill, Columbia Heights, and Longview Heights. Significant hydrological features like Ditch Number Five and Ditch Number Three manage the low-lying areas near Mt Coffin, while the northern reaches of the quadrangle show the rural character of Goose Hollow and Sandy Bend. The eastern edge is shaped by the Coweeman River and the rail-oriented development at Ostrander, providing a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting this vital Washington timber and transit hub.
