About this map

Pittsburg sits at the convergence of the Nehalem River and several creek drainages in this 2017 study of Columbia County. The landscape is defined by the winding Nehalem Valley, where the Scappoose-Vernonia Hwy meets the Pittsburg-St Helens Rd. This area serves as a significant junction for timber and transport routes, evident by the dense network of main line logging roads such as Cedar Creek Mnln and Kauppi Mnln that permeate the surrounding uplands.

Water features are abundant throughout the quadrangle, including the isolated Lindsay Lake, O'Black Pond, and Hawkins Lake. The terrain rises toward distinctive high points like Enterprise Point to the northeast. Researchers will find a detailed representation of the modern rural infrastructure, from the Apiary-Market Rd to the various unnamed tracks branching off Burris Rd, illustrating the continued importance of the river valley as a central hub for the region's forestry and transit.
