1984 Map of Devils Lake

About this map

Devils Lake dominates the northwestern corner of this coastal quadrangle, where the communities of Neotsu and Oceanlake represent the residential expansion of Lincoln City. The landscape transitions abruptly from the saltwater influence and tourism-centered parks like East Devils Lake State Park and Regatta Park into the dense timberlands of the Siuslaw National Forest. Inland, the terrain is defined by a complex drainage system where Schooner Creek and Drift Creek carve through the coastal range toward the Siletz River in the south. This 1984 survey documents the rural character of the river valley, featuring landings and camps such as Sunset Landing and Pikes Camp. The presence of Pacific View Memorial Gardens and numerous quarries throughout the forest highlights the area's mix of community infrastructure and natural resource extraction in the mid-1980s.
