1934 Map of Troutdale

About this map

Washougal and the riverfront communities of the Pacific Northwest are captured here during a transitional era of regional development, mapped in part through a State Emergency Relief project. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the industrializing riverfront and the steep, wooded heights of the western Cascades. Along the Columbia River, prominent features like Lady Island and Reed Island sit opposite Government Island, while the Spokane Portland and Seattle Highway provides a critical transport link near the Camas Water Works.
