About this map

The Columbia River serves as the dominant artery in this 1941 tactical survey, separating the shores of Washington and Oregon. Along the southern banks, the city of Clatskanie is a hub for the surrounding timber and agricultural uplands. A dense network of rural infrastructure is visible, including the Crossing Cem and a string of local education centers like Quincy School, Lacoda School, and Alder Grove School. The river landscape is characterized by complex waterways such as Bradbury Slough and Fishers Channel, which navigate around Crims Island and Fisher Island.

Maritime navigation is marked by specific landmarks like the Mayger Tank and the Red Barn, alongside numerous lights and dikes. Further inland, the terrain transitions into the high ridges where Benson L O sits, overseeing a landscape dotted with small communities including Delena, Apiary, and Doraville. The presence of numerous schools and the Ocean Hwy indicates a well-established rural society connected by river and road.
