1961 Map of Washougal

About this map

The Columbia River and its Broughton Reach define this 1961 landscape, marking the interstate border where the Washougal River and Sandy River converge from opposite banks. On the Washington side, the industrial and residential core of Washougal and Camas sits above the riverfront, served by the Burlington Northern and S P & S RY railroads. The map documents the mid-century expansion of these towns, including local centers like the Washougal High School and Washougal Memorial Cemetery.
