2020 Map of Elk City

About this map

Siuslaw National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this terrain, where the Coast Range is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Big Elk Creek and Drift Creek. The landscape is a complex system of ridges and divides, most notably Mill Creek Divide and Errol Ridge, which likely shaped early transit and land use in this part of Lincoln County. Local history is anchored by the Glenwood Cem, located near the southern boundary, providing a point of interest for genealogists tracing families from the surrounding drainage basins. The road network, including the prominent Harlan Rd and Elk City Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting disparate points like Baber Butte and Cape Horn. This 2020 record captures the modern footprint of logging and forestry access, indicated by numerous gated routes such as the Gated Logging Rd.
