1957 Map of Morton

About this map

Morton and the surrounding timberlands of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest define this 1957 topographic study of eastern Lewis County. The landscape is characterized by the confluence of the Tilton River and Cowlitz River, where valley settlements like Mossyrock, Ajlune, and Swofford are established before significant hydroelectric changes altered the river basins. Local infrastructure is anchored by the railroad lines serving the lumber economy, with a clear view of the town site's High School and Sewage Disposal facilities.
