About this map

Clatskanie serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, positioned where the Clatskanie River winds through the Columbia River lowlands. The map details a landscape defined by the transition from river-bottom drainage projects, such as the Beaver Dredge-Cut and Erickson Dike Rd, to the timbered ridges of the Northern Oregon Coast Range. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds including Maplewood Cem, Murray Hill Cem, and Bryant Cem.

South of the main settlement, the terrain rises sharply toward Clatskanie Heights and the distinctive geological features of The Billboard and Windy Mtn. The southern edge of the quadrangle reaches the small community of Mist, characterized by its own Mist Cem along the Mist-Clatskanie Hwy. This map captures the modern footprint of these timber and river communities, showing the enduring network of rural roads like Swedetown Rd and Hazel Grove Rd that link these upland and valley settlements.
