1949 Map of Olney

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Lewis and Clark River and Youngs River dominate this coastal Oregon landscape, winding through a complex network of sloughs and ridges south of Astoria. In the years following World War II, this region served as a hub for timber extraction and transportation, evidenced by the numerous corridors of an Abandoned Logging Road and the Old Railroad Grade that parallels the Klaskanine River. Small community centers like Olney and Melville are mapped alongside rural educational landmarks such as Gladwell Sch and Youngs River Falls Sch. The terrain is defined by dramatic water features including Youngs River Falls and several islands like Fry Island and Haven Island situated at the river junctions. To the south, the industrial footprint is clear at the Lumber Camp and the Warrenton Reservoir, illustrating the mid-century intersection of natural resources and municipal infrastructure in Clatsop County.
