About this map

Eatonville serves as a central hub in this post-war landscape, situated near the confluence of the Mashel River and Ohop Creek. The surrounding territory reflects a complex mix of industrial forestry, military land use, and early hydropower development. To the south, the La Grande Dam and the nearby settlement of La Grande represent the era's infrastructure growth, while the Pack Demonstration Forest indicates the region's importance to academic and commercial timber management.

Transport is dominated by the Milwaukee Road railroad and a network of named country roads like Mountain Highway and Meridian Highway. Small rural nodes like Johnsons Corner, Clay City, and Johnsons Corner are scattered among numerous small lakes such as Tanwax Lake and Silver Lake. The northern edge is bounded by the Fort Lewis Military Reservation, showing the transition from agricultural homesteads to federal use.
