2020 Map of Gearhart

About this map

Clatsop Plains defines the low-lying coastal landscape of northern Oregon on this 2020 survey, where stabilized dunes and wetlands sit between the Pacific and the Clatsop Ridge. The map documents a complex hydrological system of interdunal lakes, including Cullaby Lake, Taylor Lake, and Slusher Lake, alongside the north-flowing Skipanon River. Historic markers of the region's development are preserved here, from the Clatsop Plains Cem to the sprawling grounds of MTA Camp Rilea. The transition from the residential street grids of Gearhart and the northern edge of Seaside to the more open Surf Pines area illustrates the modern settlement patterns along this stretch of Highway 101. Researchers will find interest in the protected lands of the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, which bracket the coastal corridor and its various drainage creeks like Abercrombie Cr and Cullaby Cr.
