1984 Map of Toledo

About this map

Cowlitz River waters dominate this landscape as it meanders through the heart of Lewis County, just before crossing the border into Cowlitz County to the south. The settlement of Toledo sits at a prominent bend in the river, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural plains of Layton Prairie. To the north, the Toledo-Winlock Airport and the historic St Francis Xavier Mission (Site) signify the area's development from an early mission outpost to a modern transit point. The map reveals a transition from these flat, open prairies to the more complex terrain of Smokey Valley and the winding course of Salmon Creek. This 1980s-era survey documents a mix of legacy landmarks like Lone Hill Cemetery and Little Kentucky alongside modern infrastructure such as the numerous underground pipelines that traverse the rural landscape.
