2011 Map of Coffin Mountain

About this map

Coffin Mountain Lookout stands as a prominent sentinel over this heavily forested portion of the Cascade Range in Linn County. This early 21st-century survey reveals a landscape defined by an extensive network of forestry access roads, including Upper Blowout Rd and Straight Creek Rd, which provide access to the area's many high-elevation water bodies. Hidden among the peaks like Three Pyramids and Pinnacle Peak are several small mountain lakes, such as Daly Lake, Parish Lake, and Don Lake. The hydrography is dominated by the headwaters of numerous creeks, including Blowout Creek and Pyramid Creek, all eventually feeding toward the North Santiam River at the map's southeastern edge. The density of named ridges and peaks, from Trappers Butte to Scar Mountain, underscores the complex verticality of this managed forest environment.
