Explore Clatskanie, Oregon, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Clatskanie, Oregon. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Oregon or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Clatskanie.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Clatskanie emerges from the valley floor where the dark, silt-heavy waters of Conyers Creek wind through the lowlands, carving a path between steep, verdant slopes. It lies 25.0 miles northwest of St. Helens, OR (from St. Helens, OR: bearing 312°T), and is situated 13.1 miles west of Longview. Rising abruptly to the west, the shadow of Palm Hill dominates the horizon, casting a long, cooling grayness over the valley floor as the afternoon light wanes. The air here holds a heavy, damp stillness, carrying the scent of damp earth and deep timber that drifts down from the distant, dense reaches of the Clatsop State Forest. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the landscape rises into broken, timbered ridges that define the inland character of the region, far removed from the sharp agitation of the open plains. At the edge of the water, the Beaver Boat Ramp provides a quiet point of transition where the land yields to the slow, deliberate movement of the current.
Clatskanie carries the weight of a long-standing timber economy, a history etched into the grain of the local sawmills and the quiet industry of those who work the inland woods. The town preserves a modest, industrious rhythm, shaped by the steady labor of men and women who have spent generations navigating the rugged terrain of the interior. Though the pace of life remains slow, the legacy of the logging camps and the transit of goods remains a persistent thread in the local identity. For those seeking the solitude of the interior, the path toward the Mill Creek Truck Trail offers a route into the higher, shadowed woods, while Scout Lake lies tucked away four miles off, a still mirror reflecting the canopy of the surrounding timber. Life in Clatskanie moves with the quiet persistence of the creek, a place defined by its sturdy independence and the vast, green solitude of the surrounding hills.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
