About this map

The Nehalem River winds through this coastal landscape, creating a distinct valley corridor that supports the small settlements of Wheeler, Mohler, and Foss. The river’s path is flanked by significant elevations, most notably Foley Peak and Craig Mtn, which define the rugged interior topography of Tillamook County. The confluence of the North Fork Nehalem River near the coast highlights a complex wetland system including Gallagher Slough, which has historically shaped the agricultural and transport patterns of the region.

Transportation is dominated by the winding paths of Foss Rd and the Miami-Foley Rd, which connect these riverfront communities to the more remote interior. Smaller outposts like Batterson and Barnesdale are positioned along these corridors, often near tributary crossings like Foley Creek or Crystal Cr. The map captures a transition from the tidal influences near the coast to the heavily forested rising terrain of the Coast Range, marked by numerous logging roads and fire breaks.
