2017 Map of Goose Pasture

About this map

The Siuslaw National Forest dominates this coastal stretch of Lane County, where the terrestrial environment meets the expansive Pacific Ocean. This 2017 survey reveals a dynamic landscape of sand dunes and wetlands, specifically centered on the area known as Goose Pasture. The geography is defined by the transition from open sea to protected inland waterways, including the Siltcoos Lagoon and the winding course of the Siltcoos River. Further north, the map captures the mouth of the Siuslaw River, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Oregon coast. Notable for its ecological features rather than urban development, the map also identifies localized landmarks such as Parking Lot Marsh, which highlights the intricate network of wetlands that characterize this maritime forest boundary.
