1955 Map of Svensen

About this map

Columbia River riverfront life and the rugged timberlands of Clatsop County dominate this mid-century topographic record. The northern edge of the map reveals a complex aquatic landscape of islands and channels, including Karlson Island, Marsh Island, and the Prairie Channel, which facilitated the region's historical waterborne commerce. On the mainland, the Spokane Portland and Seattle railroad and highway corridor connects riverfront settlements like Svensen, Knappa, and Burnside.
