1955 Map of Vernonia
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Nehalem River defines the landscape of this mid-century Columbia County survey, winding past the hub of Vernonia, where the Mill Pond and Lincoln Sch anchor the community. The area is a complex network of resource extraction and early transport, evidenced by several quarries and a Coal deposit with an adjacent Tunnel. Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by rural landmarks such as the Pioneer Cem and former educational sites like the Natal School (Aban'd) and Beaver Cr School (Aban'd). The industrial character of the era is further emphasized by the presence of the S P & S River Valley Line and the Portland Astoria and Pacific RR, which facilitated movement through the valley connecting smaller settlements like Pittsburg and Treharne.
