About this map

Dixie Mtn stands as a prominent high point in this landscape, where the borders of Washington, Columbia, and Multnomah counties converge. The area is defined by its ridge-and-canyon topography, featuring prominent landmarks like Pumpkin Ridge and Stoltenberg. Agricultural and community life centers on small rural hubs such as South Scappoose, where local genealogy is anchored by sites like Saint Wenceslaus Cem and Fairview Cem. A network of winding roads, including Skyline Boulevard and Dixie Mountain Road, connects scattered homesteads and educational centers like Wallace Sch.

The presence of the Grange Hall near Mountain View Cem reflects the established social fabric of this upland region in the early 1960s. Waterways like Dutch Canyon and McKay Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement. Notable recreation and private estates such as Wildwood Golf Course and Sky Ranch appear alongside utility landmarks, including multiple radio facilities atop the higher elevations.
