2011 Map of Fivemile Creek

About this map

Siltcoos Lake and Tahkenitch Lake dominate this coastal landscape, their irregular shorelines creating numerous points and arms such as Snare Point, Crabtree Point, and the Big Arm. The interior is characterized by a dense network of watercourses including Fivemile Creek and Fiddle Creek, which drain the timbered heights of Booth Ridge. This 2011 survey reveals the infrastructure of the Siuslaw National Forest, showing numerous forest development roads like Nat For Dev Rd 4811 and logging-related landmarks such as Booth Landing. Local history and genealogy interest is centered on the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemeteries located near the southern reaches of Siltcoos Lake. The topography shifts from the tidal influences of Hudson Slough and the Smith River in the south to the secluded Miles Canyon in the north, illustrating the diverse drainage patterns of the Oregon coast.
