About this map

Siuslaw National Forest encompasses the majority of this coastal Oregon landscape, where the rugged terrain is defined by the complex shorelines of two major water bodies. To the north, Siltcoos Lake contains Booth Island and Reed Island, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the intricate arms of Tahkenitch Lake. The transition between these lakes is marked by dense ridges like Booth Ridge and narrow waterways such as Fivemile Cr.

Evidence of local heritage is found at the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemeteries and Fir Grove Cem near Fiddle Cr. The southern edge of the map tracks the path of the Smith River as it winds through the forest, joined by tributaries like Mallard Cr and Hudson Slough. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by its conservation lands and the persistence of family-named landmarks such as Crabtree Point and John Sims Cr.
