About this map

The Siletz River winds through the heart of the Siuslaw National Forest in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by timber extraction and riverfront landings. The southwestern portion of the map highlights several water-access points such as Morgan Landing, Mowrey Landing, and Sunset Landing, while the interior is marked by the presence of a Logging R R near the Upper Farm. These features suggest a period when river transport and specialized rail lines were central to the local economy and resource management.

Higher elevations are dotted with landmarks including the Suncrest Point Lookout and prominent peaks like Euchre Mtn and Stott Mountain. Near the coast, the settlements of Neotsu and Oceanlake sit adjacent to Devils Lake, providing a contrast to the remote interior where family-named sites like Peck Cabin and the Horner Ranch represent the dispersed nature of local residence. Unusual features like the Covered Bridge on Schooner Creek and the Grange near Butterfield Riffle offer valuable data points for those researching the historic infrastructure of Lincoln County.
