About this map

Saint Wenceslaus Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery anchor the northern reaches of this landscape near the settlement of South Scappoose. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Dutch Canyon and Brunswick Canyon, which flow into the larger South Scappoose Creek and McKay Creek systems. A network of rural mountain roads, such as NW Dixie Mountain Rd and NW Skyline Blvd, provides access to several high-elevation points like Dixie Mountain.

Water management is prominent in the central and southern portions of the map, featuring the Howard Schmidt Reservoir and Alderwood Lake Reservoir. For family historians, several small cemeteries and family-named locations like Dixie Ranch and Sky Ranch offer specific points of interest within these forested highlands. The map also records the location of Shadybrook Cemetery and Mountain View Cemetery, tracing the early rural footprint of Columbia County.
