1949 Map of Knappton

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Knappton and the northern shore of the Columbia River dominate this mid-century coastal survey, capturing the transition from timber-driven economies to a more modern infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the steep topography of Bear River Ridge and Naselle Ridge, where an Old Railroad Grade winds through the hills, hinting at earlier logging operations. Along the river, maritime activity is evident at the Quarantine Sta near Knappton, while Grays Point Light marks the treacherous waters of the estuary. To the north, the settlement of Naselle serves as a local hub, featuring the Naselle-Grays River High Sch and the Peaceful Hill Cem. The presence of the Old Ferry Road near Megler underscores the era's reliance on waterborne transport before more extensive highway systems reached this corner of the Pacific Northwest.
