1990 Map of Lacamas Creek

About this map

Camp Bonneville Military Reservation dominates the eastern hills of this Clark County landscape, a reminder of the region's mid-century tactical and training history. Settled pockets like Hockinson and Proebstel anchor the western flats, where the terrain transitions from agricultural fields to the rising slopes of Elkhorn Mountain and Livingston Mountain. The map reveals a diversified local economy ranging from the aviation activity at Grove Field to industrial operations at the English Pit and various other gravel pits. Water is a defining element throughout, with the drainage of Shanghai Creek and Matney Creek feeding toward the recreational and natural basin of Lacamas Lake at the southern margin. This survey captures a moment when rural crossroads and timbered uplands were increasingly intersected by specialized land uses, including the Lacamas Campground and the residential layout of a Mobile Home Park.
