About this map

Dixie Mtn rises as a central landmark in this 1961 survey, where the boundaries of Washington, Columbia, and Multnomah counties converge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Dutch Canyon, Wolf Creek, and McKay Creek, which carve through the upland terrain. Cultural markers of early settlement are visible in the clusters of community infrastructure, such as the Grange Hall and the Wallace Sch near the western slopes.

In the northeast corner, the community of South Scappoose serves as a focal point for local genealogy, situated near both Saint Wenceslaus Cem and Fairview Cem. The map documents the high-elevation transportation corridor of Skyline Boulevard and Skyline Road, alongside local landmarks like Dixie Ranch and the Wildwood Golf Course. This edition includes purple revisions from 1970, showing the evolution of these rural roads and facilities during the mid-20th century.
