About this map

Siuslaw National Forest encompasses the high ridges and steep drainages of the Oregon Coast Range in the mid-1950s, a landscape defined by the winding course of the Siletz River and Drift Creek. The river corridor is dotted with several water-access points such as Melco Landing, Mack Landing, and Morgan Landing, reflecting a period when the waterway was central to local movement and commerce. Near the Butterfield Riffle, the Reed Cr Grange stands as a focal point for the agricultural community. Higher elevations are marked by remote outposts and family-named landmarks like Minaki Place, Horner Ranch, and the Suncrest Point Lookout. These features, along with names like Camas Prairie and Elos Prairie, illustrate the complex topography where logging, ranching, and river life converged in Lincoln County.
