About this map

The Siletz River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, carving a deep valley that defines the local geography. This 1980s survey captures a region where timber and transportation intersect, characterized by the rugged terrain of the Siletz Indian Reservation. To the south, the Yaquina River provides a secondary drainage basin, paralleled by the tracks of the Southern Pacific railroad, which historically served the movement of goods through the Coastal Range.

Settlement patterns are concentrated in small communities like Eddyville and Chitwood, where the iconic Chitwood Covered Bridge spans the river, a notable landmark for local history and architecture. Industrial activity is evident at the Rock Quarry and various gravel stock piles, while the Twin Bridges Memorial Park indicates areas set aside for community use. Numerous family-named creeks such as Scott Creek, Adams Creek, and Thornton Creek highlight the importance of water access for early homesteaders and land claims in this part of Lincoln County.
