About this map

Clatskanie sits at the confluence of the Clatskanie River and Westport Slough in this 2011 survey of Columbia County, Oregon. The town's layout is centered around the Clatskanie Post Office, with residential roads like SW Orchard Dr and Park Dr framing the central district. The surrounding hillsides are dotted with numerous historic burial grounds, including Murray Hill Cemetery, Maplewood Cemetery, and Bryant Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in the Lower Columbia region.

To the south, the terrain rises toward Clatskanie Heights and several prominent high points such as Windy Mountain and Benson Point, the latter featuring the Benson Lookout. The rural character of the landscape is defined by its dense network of drainages, from Conyers Creek to Adams Creek, and isolated landmarks like the Alder Grove School and Goat Ranch. This era shows a community deeply tied to its geography, with winding timber roads like Stimson Mill Rd providing access to the upland timberlands and ridges.
