2014 Map of Devils Lake

About this map

Devils Lake and the community of Neotsu define the northwestern corner of this coastal Oregon landscape, where the Oregon Coast Hwy navigates the narrow strip between the shoreline and the rising timberlands. Much of the interior is protected within the Siuslaw National Forest, a terrain characterized by deep drainage basins for the Schooner Cr and Drift Creek systems. To the south, the Siletz River winds past Medicine Rock and Reed Reservoir, marking a transition from the higher elevations of Ball Mtn and Prairie Hill toward the tidal influence of Tide Slough. Local history is anchored by sites like the Pacific View Memorial Gardens and the scattered mountain peaks that served as early navigational landmarks for both river travel and forest surveying.
