2024 Map of Fivemile Creek

About this map

Siuslaw National Forest blankets this coastal corridor of Oregon, where the complex shorelines of Siltcoos Lake and Tahkenitch Lake dominate the terrain. The landscape is defined by intricate water systems, including the Fiddle Creek Arm and numerous smaller inlets like Mallard Arm and Five Mile Arm. Near the settlement of Dunes City, the map shows the transition from open water to inland marshes such as Dismal Swamp. Genealogists will find the Fir Grove Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemeteries positioned near the northern and southern lake regions, respectively. The presence of these fraternal burial grounds and named points like Crabtree Point and Snare Point suggest a long history of local residence and recreational use along the waterways. Movement through the area is primarily along roads like Fivemile Rd and Booth Rd, which navigate the steep topography of Booth Ridge.
