1941 Map of Cape Foulweather

About this map

The Pacific Ocean coastline of Lincoln County is detailed in this 1939 survey, capturing a series of coastal communities before several later incorporated into a single city. Stringing along the shoreline are early settlements like Wecoma, Oceanlake, Delake, Nelscott, and Taft, each marked with their bench mark elevations. The map provides a clear view of the Siletz Bay estuary, where the Siletz River and Schooner Creek meet the sea near Kernville. To the south, the topography rises toward the namesake Cape Foulweather and the prominent cliffs of Otter Crest. Coastal geography is further defined by landmarks like Government Point and protected inlets such as Pirate Cove, Whale Cove, and the natural harbor at Depoe Bay, showing the area's development just before the mid-century.
