Laura, The "f" is a German looking "s". If you move the "s" and the "n" one position, then you do have Clatskanie. I can find no place in the world that starts with "Claf".

I check the official Oregon map. The closest I cam to it was Clatskanie. Methinks it was a reporter's error. It was given as the location of a relative of a deceased person with German from Russia heritage.
