About this map

The Siuslaw River winds through the heart of the central Oregon coast, where the community of Florence anchors a landscape defined by expansive dunes and coastal freshwater lakes. This 2014 survey documents the intricate geography of the region, from the tidal flats of North Fork Shoal and Cox Island to the timber-related legacy visible at the Mount Canary Company Log Pond near Canary. The map reveals the relationship between early 20th-century industry and modern recreation, particularly in the vicinity of Siltcoos Lake and Woahink Lake.

Local history is well-represented through the presence of the Heceta Lodge Number 11 IOOF Cem and the Spruce Point Cem. Small riverside settlements like Cushman and Acme line the northern banks of the Siuslaw, while the southern portion of the sheet features the specialized topography of Dunes City and Westlake. The Siuslaw National Forest encompasses much of the surrounding terrain, preserving the character of this maritime and forest environment.
