2014 Map of Cochran

About this map

Cochran marks the central hub of this remote timber and mountain landscape on the border of Washington and Tillamook Counties. The settlement is centered near Cochran Pond at the headwaters of the Salmonberry River and the S Fork Nehalem River. The map reveals a complex network of forest roads and topographic landmarks, including the notable peaks of Giveout Mtn and Larch Mtn. This area is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and a dense web of drainages like Idiot Cr and Gales Cr. Local infrastructure is represented by routes such as Standard Grds and Belding Rd, which historically supported the logging operations in the Oregon Coast Range. Researchers can trace the winding paths of numerous named creeks that feed into the larger river systems of the region.
