2020 Map of Baker Point

About this map

Wilark Pioneer Cem provides a focal point for genealogical interest in this upland portion of Columbia County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Clatskanie River and the Little Clatskanie River, which carve through the timbered terrain south of the Columbia River valley. Prominent elevations such as Baker Point and Mt Cedara rise above a dense network of logging and access roads, including Apiary-Market Rd and Pittsburg-St Helens Rd. This 2020 survey illustrates a contemporary view of the region's managed forests, where water features like Titus Pond and the Fish Ponds dot the drainage basins of Oak Ranch Cr and Carcus Cr. The map's layout of section lines and range markers provides a clear framework for tracing land ownership and early 20th-century homestead locations in these forested hills.
