2017 Map of Fivemile Creek

About this map

Siltcoos Lake and Tahkenitch Lake dominate this coastal landscape, their intricate arms and bays reaching deep into the forested ridges of the Siuslaw National Forest. The map reveals a complex aquatic geography defined by features like Booth Arm, Bear Trap Arm, and the narrow passage of The Isthmus. In the north, Booth Island and Reed Island sit at the mouth of the Fiddle Creek Arm, while the south is marked by the course of the Smith River and its accompanying roads, Lower Smith River Rd and S Smith River Rd. Local heritage is anchored by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemeteries near Tahkenitch Lake and the Fir Grove Cem located along Fiddle Creek. The network of Forest Service roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 4811, provides the primary access to the interior gulches and ridges like Booth Ridge.
