2014 Map of Marshland

About this map

Westport Slough and the winding course of the Nehalem River anchor this terrain in Columbia and Clatsop Counties. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Clatskanie Mtn and Tunnel Mtn, separated by the Nehalem Valley to the south. Small settlements like Woodson and Marshland are situated along the northern corridor near Us-30, while Mist occupies the southeastern corner where the river bends. This 2014 survey captures a rural region of timbered ridges and narrow creek valleys, where family-named landmarks like Skunk Cabbage Ridge and Favorite Cr reflect a deep local geography. Genealogists may find interest in the Fishhawk Cem located near the southern border, while the presence of the Lower Midland Bridge and Mist-Clatskanie Hwy illustrates the modern transport network connecting these historic river and valley communities.
