Бронзовый рельефный план на Асторийской колонне создан благодаря пожертвованию клуба альпинистов

In One Ear: It’s a relief Published 6:00 am Thursday, August 13, 2026 Relief rerun: Ever wondered where the bronze relief map at the Astoria Column came from? “The Astoria Hiking Club was founded July 4, 1920, on the summit of Saddle Mountain, long before easy trails and highway access,” chief guide Bob Westerberg explained. “A logging railroad took them out to the base of the mountain, and hikers pretty much scrambled directly up the south slope. “In the 1930s the club built a cabin on the north face of Tillamook Head on a parcel of land later sold to Oregon State Parks for the coast hiking trail.” The club donated part of the sale proceeds to Astoria to create the bronze map in 1966. Ruben Jensen, an Astoria High School photo and mechanical drawing instructor, designed the map and inscriptions, including the then-new Astoria Bridge. And now you know the story, too.
