About this map

Vernonia serves as the focal point of this Northwest Oregon landscape, where the Nehalem River and Rock Creek converge. The town's grid is detailed with residential streets like Texas Ave and State Ave, while the local history of the community is anchored by the Pioneer Cem and Vernonia Cem. A notable geographic feature is the Banks-Vernonia State Trail, which traces a former railway alignment south through the settlement of Treharne, illustrating the transition of industrial timber corridors into recreational spaces.

To the west, the Vernonia Municipal Airport sits near the riverbanks, while the topography rises toward Corey Hill and Hoffman Hill. The map meticulously records the numerous drainage systems that define the region, including Pebble Cr and Beaver Cr. The boundary between Columbia Co and Washington Co cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, marking a significant administrative division in this timber-rich country.
