1961 Map of Orchards

About this map

Fourth Plains and Mill Plain characterize this 1961 view of Clark County, documenting an era of suburban expansion and agricultural persistence. The landscape is bisected by the Northern Pacific railroad, which links established communities like Brush Prairie and Orchards. Local history is deeply etched into the grid by numerous family and community landmarks, including Wilson Cem, Elim Cem, and St Johns Cem, alongside the extensive grounds of Evergreen Memorial Gardens.
