About this map

Pittsburg serves as the focal point for this section of Columbia County, situated at the confluence where the East Fork Nehalem River meets the main stem of the Nehalem River. The landscape is defined by the deep winding corridors of the Nehalem Valley, where a network of logging and resource roads such as Burris Mnln and Coates Mnln navigate the steep rises toward Enterprise Point.

Water features are prominent throughout the drainage basin, from the secluded Lindsay Lake and Hawkins Lake to smaller catchments like O Black Pond. The mapping of these waterways, including Johnson Creek and South Fork Battle Creek, illustrates a terrain dominated by timber management and watershed conservation. The presence of Airstrip Rd and the junction of the Scappoose Veronia Hwy with the Pittsburg St Helens Rd highlights the area's role as a transit hub for the rural interior between the coast and the Columbia River valley.
