Port Westward ...
|
During World War II, Port Westward was the location of the Beaver Ammunition Depot, a major army shipping point for the Pacific Theater of operations. In 1970, the site was sold to the Kaiser-Aetna interests, who began to develop a trans-shipping complex. It later was the site of the Portland General Electric Company's Beaver Generating Plant.
Port Westward is located on the tip of the Clatskanie River/Beaver Slough delta. Upstream is the lower tip of Crims Island. Separating Crims Island from Port Westward is the Bradbury Slough. Washington State's Oak Point and County Line Park are across the river from Port Westward.
