About this map

Cathlamet Bay and the lower reach of the Columbia River dominate this 1940 tactical survey, revealing a landscape of braided channels and riverine islands. Along the southern shore, the Spokane Portland and Seattle Ry and the Columbia Highway connect small riverside settlements like Svensen, Brownsmead, and Ivy Station. This era shows a community infrastructure built around education and natural resources, featuring the Union High Sch, Svensen Sch, and specialized facilities like the Klaskanine Fish Hatchery Sch near the North Fork Klaskanine River.
