2014 Map of Dixie Mountain

About this map

Dixie Mtn rises as a central landmark in this 2014 survey, marking the intersection of Columbia, Washington, and Multnomah Counties. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Tualatin Mountains, Strawberry Ridge, and Pumpkin Ridge, which channel numerous watercourses like S Scappoose Cr and McKay Cr toward the Columbia River basin. The settlement pattern shows a concentration of activity in the north at South Scappoose and Dutch Canyon, where the rugged topography begins to level out. Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds including Saint Wenceslaus Cem, Mtn View Cem, and Shadybrook Cem. The map provides a contemporary view of the region's managed water resources, documenting features such as Howard Schmidt Reservoir and Alderwood Lake Reservoir nestled within the forested canyons.
