About this map

Tillamook State Forest covers the majority of this landscape in the late 1970s, where the headwaters of several major river systems converge near the borders of Washington, Yamhill, and Tillamook counties. The topography is defined by the complex drainage network of the North Fork Trask River and the Middle Fork Trask River, alongside the Barney Reservoir which sits at an elevation of 1590 feet.

Resource extraction and forest management are evident through the numerous Borrow Pit sites, a Quarry, and the proximity of the Trask Forest Service Sta. 9 Mi.. Transportation infrastructure focuses on logging and service access, featuring named routes like Headquarters Grade, Murphy Grade, and the Mainline Road. Higher elevations are marked by prominent landmarks such as Gobblers Knob, Simmons Spur, and Windy Point, which overlook the deep valleys of Laughlin Creek and Fairchild Creek.
