Description
Summary:From accompanying material: Item 20: T30N, R12W, S9 - On the west hillside of the Beaver Creek Canyon, where more than half the fir and hemlock trees were thrown down and slid down the steep hillside onto the road. Typical of several miles in this location. PH Coll 1422.20 On January 29, 1921, a hurricane-force windstorm struck the Washington coast. So much timber was destroyed that the storm was called "The Great Blowdown." Destruction was heaviest in the west end of Clallam County. The photographs in this collection were likely taken March 22-24, 1921 between the towns of Beaver and Mora, Washington during Governor Louis Hart's tour of the area with state and county officials.
