About this map

Sawtooth Ridge dominates this portion of the Northern Oregon Coast Range, forming a high divide between several critical drainage systems. The intricate topography is defined by the headwaters of the North Fork Kilchis River and the S Fork Kilchis River, which carve through deep drainages alongside Fossil Canyon. These waterways are fed by numerous small tributaries such as Schroeder Cr and Schmitz Cr, creating a complex aquatic network that supports the region's ecology. High points like Mutt Peak and Cedar Butte provide significant landmarks for navigation within the dense timberlands.

Industrial and recreational access is traced through a network of forestry routes, including Cedar Creek Rd and Wolf Creek Rd. The presence of Kilchis Falls and naming conventions like Blowout Cr or Shadow Cr reflect the localized geography of the Wilson River basin. This survey documents the land as it appeared in the early 21st century, illustrating the relationship between the elevated peaks and the deep river valleys of the Tillamook interior.
