About this map

Sawtooth Ridge and its complex network of high-elevation drainages dominate this 2024 landscape in the Oregon Coast Range. The area is defined by the headwaters of the Kilchis and Wilson river systems, featuring steep terrain where the North Fork Kilchis River meets tributaries like Schroeder Creek and Shaw Creek. The presence of Kilchis Falls and the deep incision of Fossil Canyon suggest a landscape of significant vertical relief and hydrological complexity.

Modern forest management is evident through the naming of the Kilchis River Forest Rd and Cedar Butte Rd, providing access to peaks such as Cedar Butte, Mutt Peak, and Stanley Peak. This map serves as a detailed record of the contemporary hydrography of the Tillamook region, tracing the paths of numerous named creeks including Blowout Creek, Shadow Creek, and South Wolf Creek as they descend toward the Pacific-facing watersheds.
