1949 Map of Knappton

About this map

Naselle serves as the primary hub in this coastal river landscape, situated where the Naselle River begins its winding course through the timbered heights of Naselle Ridge. The survey captures a mid-century period of transition, documenting the infrastructure of earlier industry and public health along the shoreline. Of particular interest to local historians is the Quarantine Sta located on the tidal flats near Knappton, and the Old Railroad Grade that traces the valley of the South Fork Naselle River, indicating the historical importance of logging and transport in the region. Educational and community life is anchored at the Naselle-Grays River High Sch and the nearby Peaceful Hill Cem. Along the broad reach of the Columbia River, landmarks like Portuguese Point and the Grays Point Light guided maritime traffic toward the Pacific, past the small settlements of Frankfort and Megler.
