1949 Map of Knappton

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Knappton and the shoreline of the Columbia River anchor this mid-century look at the southern tip of Pacific County, where the tidal estuary meets the steep timbered slopes of Bear River Ridge. The river's influence is central to the area's geography, visible in the bathymetric depths of Hungry Harbor and the navigational significance of Grays Point Light. Inland, the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Naselle River, which supports small communities like Naselle and local educational hubs such as Naselle-Grays River High Sch. Evidence of the region's industrial past is etched into the terrain via the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the Naselle Ridge. Isolated settlements like Frankfort and the Johnson Ranch appear as quiet outposts between the high ridges and the wide, shifting waters of the Columbia.
