2014 Map of Blaine

About this map

The settlement of Blaine occupies a narrow valley in the coastal mountains, serving as a focal point for this 2014 survey of the Siuslaw National Forest. The landscape is defined by the steep, timbered ridges that separate the Nestucca River from the headwaters of the S Fork Trask River. This area is characterized by heavy forest management and remote peaks like Hardscrabble Mtn and Grindstone Mtn. The Blaine Cem stands as a local genealogical landmark near the river, while an extensive network of forest roads, including Upper Nestucca Rd and Blaine Rd, provides access through the rugged terrain of t3s r8w and surrounding townships. The intricate drainage patterns of Moon Cr, East Cr, and Fawcett Cr illustrate the complex hydrology typical of the Oregon Coast Range, where deep canyons and high points like High Peak dictate the path of early travel routes.
