About this map

Clatskanie serves as the primary hub in this Columbia County landscape, situated where the Clatskanie River meets the low-lying drainage of Beaver Slough. The town is flanked by several community burial grounds, including Murray Hill Cem, Maplewood Cem, and Bryant Cem, providing critical reference points for genealogical research in the Nehalem Valley region. To the south, the terrain rises sharply from the river valley toward Clatskanie Heights and the high points of Windy Ridge and Windy Mtn.

The southern edge of the sheet transitions into the timberlands near the settlement of Mist, home to the Mist Cem. Numerous watercourses like Conyers Cr, Roaring Cr, and Johnson Cr carve through the uplands, while landmarks such as The Billboard and Scout Lake suggest the area's use for recreation and navigation. This survey documents the intersection of rural residential life and the natural waterways of Northwest Oregon.
