About this map

Scappoose serves as the southern anchor for this map of Columbia County, where the valley floor gives way to the rising timberlands of the Coast Range. The landscape is defined by its industrial history, particularly the presence of the Crown Zellerbach Trail which follows the path of former logging corridors through Spitzenberg and Chapman. These small settlements and rural crossroads are connected by a network of family-named roads like Wilark Rd and Pittsburg Rd, reflecting the generational roots of the local community.

Water management and local aviation are prominent, with James O Fisher Reservoir and Sherman Reservoir situated near Grabhorn's Airport. Local history and genealogy researchers will find several documented burial sites, including Yankton-Hillcrest Cem near the town of Yankton and the Pisgah Home Cem to the west. The rugged terrain is carved by numerous drainages such as Milton Cr and N Scappoose Cr, which flow through features like Dutch Canyon and beneath the slopes of Bald Hill.
