1953 Map of Pigeon Springs

About this map

The Kalama River and the Coweman River define the topography of this Cowlitz County landscape, where the early 1950s timber industry is evident through an extensive network of infrastructure. Logging activity is marked by a Private Railroad and numerous routes designated as private, alongside several scattered quarries. The presence of the Coweman Ranger Sta and the State Forestry Camp underscores the managed nature of these woodlands. Settlements are sparse and functional, centered around locations like Pigeon Springs and Camp Coweman. Moving south, the terrain drops toward the Lower Kalama River Falls, while the northern reaches are dominated by the South Fork Toutle River. Named peaks such as Baird Mountain, Nineteen Mtn, and Monument Peak provide distinct landmarks among the dense drainage basins of Mulholland Creek and Goble Creek.
