About this map

The Nehalem River basin and its many tributaries define this forested landscape at the intersection of Columbia, Washington, Tillamook, and Clatsop counties. The settlement of Keasey and the community of Clear Creek sit amidst a complex network of logging and access roads, such as Sunset Grade and the Rock Creek Mnln. This region's history as a timber-producing area is evidenced by the numerous named grades and creek drainages that dominate the terrain, including Fall Creek, Wolf Creek, and Gales Creek.

Local landmarks such as Bero Field and the North Cam of Clear Creek provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of this rural Oregon interior. Higher elevations like Rocky Point overlook a territory deeply carved by water, where smaller flows like Kist Creek and Ginger Creek feed into larger systems. The presence of a Pit near the center of the sheet reflects the ongoing resource extraction and land use patterns common to the Oregon Coast Range foothills.
