2023 Map of Elk City

About this map

Siuslaw National Forest encompasses the southern half of this Lincoln County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Errot Ridge, Gopher Ridge, and the notable Mill Creek Divide. The winding course of Big Elk Creek serves as a primary drainage for the area, joined by numerous tributaries such as Bear Creek and Deer Creek. Settlement traces are sparse in this heavily forested timber country, though the Glenwood Cem remains a significant point of interest for local historians and genealogists.
