2011 Map of Knappton

About this map

The Columbia River shoreline dominates this 2011 survey, where the rugged coastal terrain of Pacific County meets the water at Knappton and the small settlement of Frankfort. This area, deeply carved by the Naselle River and its various forks, reflects a landscape of timber and tide. To the north, the community of Naselle serves as a central hub, flanked by the Peaceful Hill Cemetery and the Wirkkala Airport. The drainage patterns of South Naselle River and Johnson Creek illustrate the complex watershed that flows toward the estuary, passing by local landmarks like the Johnson Ranch. Navigational points such as Grays Point Light and the prominent Portuguese Point mark the transition from the river's wider reaches into the protected coves of Hungry Harbor near Megler.
