About this map

The Nehalem River winds through the Oregon Coast Range in this contemporary topographical view, defining a landscape of steep timbered ridges and narrow river valleys. Small settlements like Mohler and Wheeler sit along the lower reaches of the waterway, while the inland rails follow the riverbanks past isolated stops at Foss and Batterson. The mapping shows the intricate network of forest roads, including Miami Foley Rd and Foss Rd, which connect these river-bottom hamlets to the higher peaks.

Prominent summits such as Foley Peak and Crag Mtn anchor the terrain between the Nehalem and the Miami River to the south. This area is characterized by heavy drainage from numerous tributaries like East Foley Creek and Zaddach Creek, reflecting a wet coastal environment where the legacy of the timber industry is visible in the dense web of forest access routes such as Fire Break 3 Rd and Miami River Forest Rd.
