About this map

The Siletz River winds through a heavily timbered landscape dominated by the Siuslaw National Forest during the early 1940s. The river's winding path serves as a primary corridor for commerce and transport, evidenced by several riverfront access points including Melco Landing, Mack Landing, and Mowrey Landing. This era reflects a landscape defined by forestry and small-scale river settlements, where isolated cabins and ranches like the Horner Ranch and Sevenmile Cabin dot the drainages of Drift Creek and Schooner Creek.

The mapping reveals the logistical framework of the Oregon Coast Range before extensive modern development. Transit is facilitated by a singular Highway and the notable Ojalla Bridge at Camas Prairie Creek. To the north, the terrain rises toward Saddleback Mtn and Bald Mtn, where names like Four Cabin Corner and Pikes Camp suggest the activity of early logging crews and forest rangers working the high ridges.
