1957 Map of Euchre Mtn

About this map

The Siletz River winds through a heavily forested landscape dominated by the Siuslaw National Forest during the mid-1950s. This coastal region is defined by its reliance on the river and its many landings, such as Sunset Landing, Melco Landing, and Mack Landing, which served as vital access points for local industry and transport. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Euchre Mtn and Cougar Mtn, while the lowlands near Devils Lake show the growth of Oceanlake and Neotsu. The map preserves evidence of the logging economy that shaped Lincoln County, notably the Old Railroad Grade and several Logging R R tracks. Small family holdings and community centers like Horner Ranch, Minski Place, and the Reed Grange highlight the scattered rural settlement patterns of the era before more modern development reached these timbered ridges.
