About this map

Baker Point and Mt Cedara anchor this heavily timbered landscape in Columbia County, where the upper reaches of the Clatskanie River and its numerous tributaries have carved deep drainage patterns. The 2014 terrain is defined by a network of resource-extraction and access roads, including Apiary Rd and Pittsburg Rd, which trace the ridges and valleys once dominated by early 20th-century logging operations.

Evidence of historical activity is preserved at the Wilark Pioneer Cem and the site of Camp 9, marking the legacy of the timber camps that once populated these forests. Significant water features such as the Little Clatskanie River, Fish Ponds, and Titus Pond are interspersed among the drainages of Oak Ranch Cr and Carcus Cr. The industrial presence remains visible through the Oak Ranch Quarry, while the various "Jeep roads" and local connectors suggest the modern use of this backcountry for forestry and recreation.
