About this map

Buck Mtn and High Butte dominate the high ground of this Tillamook County coastal range, where a complex network of waterways carves through the timbered landscape. The northern edge is defined by the Nehalem River and the Salmonberry River, which meet near Bulck Canyon. Moving south, the terrain feeds several distinct river systems, including the headwaters of the Miami River and the W Fork Wilson River.

Logistics across this steep topography are managed via named routes like Cook Creek Rd and Foss Rd, which follow the natural contours of drainages such as Cook Creek and Hanson Cr. The presence of the Triangulation Point suggests the importance of this high point for geodetic surveying in the region. This 2017 survey illustrates a modern landscape still defined by its traditional drainage basins and narrow canyon access points.
