1956 Map of New Washington

About this map

The Clark Military Grant defines the southern half of this landscape, its diagonal surveying lines creating a striking geometric contrast with the traditional north-south township grids used elsewhere in Clark County. This unique boundary layout influences the placement of local roads and property lines throughout Oregon and Washington townships. The village of New Washington serves as the central hub, supported by smaller settlements like New Market and Hibernia that dot the countryside during the mid-1950s.
