2011 Map of Vernonia

About this map

Vernonia serves as the central hub of this Columbia County landscape, situated at the confluence of the Nehalem River and Rock Creek. The town's layout is defined by its timber-country history, with the Vernonia Post Office and nearby Vernonia Airfield anchoring the community. Beyond the main settlement, the terrain is marked by a network of hills including Corey Hill, O-A Hill, and Hoffman Hill. Smaller outlying localities like Treharne, Braun, and Bacona dot the valleys of Beaver Creek and Pebble Creek, reflecting the dispersed settlement patterns typical of Oregon's coast range foothills. The map reveals a transition from the structured streets of the town center to the winding logging and access roads like Pebble Creek Mnln and Bacona Rd that penetrate the surrounding uplands. Genealogists will find the locations of the Vernonia Cemetery and Pioneer Cemetery useful for tracing local family histories.
