About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor follows the winding course of the Salmonberry River through this 1955 survey of the Northern Oregon Coast Range. Small settlements and sidings like Rector, Enright, and Belding are tucked into the steep drainages where timber and rail operations define the local economy. The mapping of Belding Road and Portland Mills Road indicates the evolving transport network during the mid-century, connecting isolated guard stations such as the Blue Lake Guard Sta to the larger river valleys.

Waterways dominate the landscape, with the Wilson River and the Nehalem River carving deep paths through the high terrain of Buck Mountain and Cedar Butte. The inclusion of the Willamette Base Line provides a critical reference point for surveyors and land title researchers tracing historical property boundaries in Tillamook County. This era captures the region before extensive modernization, preserving the locations of remote outposts like Lees Camp and the numerous mountain peaks that served as fire lookouts, such as Kilchis Lookout.
