About this map

Saint Helens and its industrial harbor occupy a strategic bend in the Columbia River where the Multnomah Channel diverges. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by the intersection of Oregon’s timber and river history with the tidal complexity of the islands. To the south, Scappoose serves as a gateway to the region, featuring the Scappoose Industrial Airpark. The river environment is a labyrinth of sloughs and lakes, dominated by the expansive Bachelor Island and the northern tip of Sauvie Island.

Genealogical and local history markers are prevalent in the smaller inland communities of Warren and McNulty. Notable sites for researchers include the Lutheran Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. The map traces the varied topography from the waterfront at Warrior Rock to the rising hills of Nob Hill, providing a clear look at the residential and industrial footprint along the Pnwr railroad corridor.
