1979 Map of Vernonia

About this map

Vernonia sits at the confluence of Rock Creek and the Nehalem River, serving as the primary hub for this timber-heavy corridor in the late 1970s. The town's layout is centered around local institutions like Washington School and Lincoln School, with the industrial nature of the landscape evidenced by Sewage Disposal Ponds and a nearby Borrow Pit. Outside the main settlement, the map reveals a history of rural community life and early transit, with the Vernonia Grange and small crossings like Treharne and Braun scattered along Beaver Creek and the southern slopes.
