1979 Map of Buxton

About this map

Buxton and its surrounding timberlands are defined by the winding course of the West Fork Dairy Creek and the transportation corridors that followed its path. This late 20th-century update highlights the transition of the regional infrastructure, specifically noting the Old Railroad Grade and the Sell Old Railroad Grade, which trace the legacy of the logging industry. To the west, the Tillamook State Forest dominates the higher elevations near Eagle Peak and Wildcat Mountain, while the valley floors are dotted with agricultural markers like Schmadeke Reservoir and Hofer Pond. Small rural clusters such as Manning, Staleys Junction, and Davies Junction anchor the road network, while the Buxton Cem and various family-named routes like Nowakowski Road and Levi White Rd provide specific geographical points for genealogical research and local history studies.
