2017 Map of Fanno Ridge

About this map

Black Rock sits as a lonely outlier of settlement in the northeastern corner of this 2017 survey, serving as a gateway to the dense, high-elevation terrain of the Oregon Coast Range. The topography is defined by the headwaters of several major drainages, most notably the Little Luckiamute River and the S Fork Siletz River, which carve deep paths through the timberlands. Key ridges such as Fanno Ridge and Cougar Ridge provide the structural framework for the landscape, while peaks like Bald Mtn and Green Mtn rise above the surrounding slopes. The network of forest roads, including Valsetz Rd and Black Rock Rd, follows the difficult contours of the land, hinting at the area's legacy of commercial timber harvest and the rugged transit required to navigate these drainages.
