About this map

Siuslaw National Forest dominates this section of the Oregon Coast Range, where the meeting of Lincoln, Benton, and Lane counties is defined by a dense network of watercourses and steep ridges. The Alsea River flows through the northern reaches, while the central landscape is carved by the namesake Five Rivers and its numerous tributaries like Cherry Cr and Lobster Cr. Significant topographic features such as Stoney Mtn and Pitchfork Ridge provide a vertical backdrop to the small settlements of Fisher and Paris.

Transport through this timber-rich terrain relies on a complex system of Forest Service routes, including Nat For Dev Rd 3305 and Nat For Dev Rd 3415. The presence of Cascade Falls on Cascade Cr highlights the water-driven geography of the region. This 2014 survey captures the area’s character as a managed wilderness, where natural landmarks and logging access roads form the primary infrastructure for the dispersed communities.
