1953 Map of Mt. Brynion

About this map

Mt Brynion dominates this terrain in Washington’s Cowlitz County, where timber extraction and hydrology shaped the mid-century landscape. The Coweman River winds through the southern section of the map, featuring a Gaging Sta and a Cable Crossing that indicate the importance of water monitoring in this drainage basin. To the north, the industrial character of the region is evident at Headquarters, a hub for a sophisticated network of Logging Roads and a Private Road system. A dedicated Logging RR and a specific Tunnel reveal the specialized infrastructure required to navigate the steep drainage of Ostrander Creek and its southern fork. Small residential traces appear in the southwest near the river, where Allen St and Harris St meet a Footbridge, providing a rare point of pedestrian access across the water.
