2023 Map of Chapman

About this map

The hills of Columbia County, Oregon, define a landscape of deeply incised creeks and scattered upland settlements in this 2023 record. The terrain is dominated by features like Bunker Hill and Bald Hill, while the drainage network of Clatskanie River, North Scappoose Creek, and Milton Creek shapes the local geography. Development is concentrated along the Scappoose Vernonia Hwy and the eastern edge near Scappoose and Warren. Family and local history is preserved through sites such as the Old Yankton Cem and Yankton Hillcrest Cem near Yankton, as well as the Pisgah Home Cem further west. Smaller communities like Spitzenberg, Chapman, and Apple Valley occupy the valleys and ridges between the extensive forest tracts, while aviation history is represented by Grabhorn's Airport. This modern survey details the persistent rural character of the region, showing how contemporary infrastructure like the Crown-Zellerbach Rd overlays historic settlement patterns.
