1938 Map of Fort Columbia

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Fort Columbia Military Reservation stands as a sentinel at the mouth of the Columbia River, guarding the strategic waterway between Washington and Oregon in the late 1930s. This coastal landscape is defined by the intricate tidal reaches of Willapa Bay and Baker Bay, where numerous family-owned properties like the Lagergren Ranch and J Goulter Ranch illustrate a rural economy of agriculture and oyster harvesting. The small settlements of Chinook and Knappton anchor the shoreline, while the interior is dominated by the ridges and valleys of the Naselle River.
