About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad winds along the narrow canyon of the Salmonberry River in this survey of the northern Oregon Coast Range. This high-elevation corridor links several small stations and settlements, including Enright, Belfort, and Wakefield, reflecting a period when rail was the primary artery through these timber-rich mountains. To the south, the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Wilson River and the Kilchis River systems, where the Wilson River Highway begins to establish a modern road link toward the coast.

Industrial and conservation efforts are evident through the presence of a Fish Hatchery near Lees Camp and the Cedar Butte Lookout Tower, which provided essential fire surveillance over the dense drainage basins. The map illustrates a transitional era for Tillamook County, showing the heavy reliance on waterway-following infrastructure, from Jordan Creek to the North Fork Salmonberry River, before modern logging road networks became more pervasive.
