2014 Map of Elsie

About this map

Elsie and the surrounding timberlands of the Northern Oregon Coast Range define this landscape, where the Nehalem River carves a deep valley through the mountains. This survey captures the rural character of Clatsop County, centered on the historic settlements of Mishawaka and Lukarilla. The terrain is marked by high-elevation features like Flat Iron Mtn and the Four Seven Ridge, while the hydrological network includes Spruce Run Lake and Little Falls. A dense web of logging and access roads, such as August Fire Rd and Fish Hawk Falls Hwy, reflects the area's long-standing reliance on forestry. To the north, Sunny Hill-Gem sits near the river bend, providing a specific point of interest for local historians and genealogists tracking the small, often remote communities that developed along the Us-26 corridor.
