1954 Map of Lacamas Creek

About this map

Green Mountain rises as a central landmark in this mid-century portrait of Clark County, which illustrates a landscape defined by small rural hubs and federal activity. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the extensive Military Reservation, which contains Camp Bonneville and Camp Killpack. This area contrasts with the lowland agricultural and residential pockets to the west, where the settlement patterns of Hockinson, Proebstel, and Mill Plain appear alongside essential water management features like China Ditch and Big Ditch. The presence of English Pit and a Pipeline suggests the local industrial and utility infrastructure of the era, while recreational and youth-oriented spaces such as Boy Scout Camp and Lechtenberg Park are established near the southern water bodies. From the high points of Livingston Mtn and Little Baldy down to the shores of Lacamas Lake, the map captures a period of transition between forest, farm, and federal use.
