2017 Map of Orchards

About this map

The suburban and rural interface of Clark County is mapped here in detail, showcasing the northern expansion of Vancouver and its surrounding communities. The landscape is a network of residential growth and established agricultural land, punctuated by a series of local airfields including the Brush Prairie Aerodrome, Fly For Fun Airport, and Evergreen North-South Airpark. The area preserves its pioneer roots through numerous small burial grounds such as Elim Cem, Bethel Cem, and Wilson Bridge Cem, which sit alongside historic settlement names like Brush Prairie, Homan, and Sifton. Natural drainage follows the paths of Salmon Creek in the north and Burnt Bridge Creek in the south. This survey reveals how the grid of local roads, such as NE Prairie Rd and NE Paddon Pkwy, has integrated formerly distinct locales like Walnut Grove and Five Corners into a continuous developed corridor.
