About this map

The North Fork Klaskanine River and its various tributaries define the drainage patterns of this coastal Oregon landscape as it appeared in the late 1940s. The map illustrates a shift from industrial exploitation to conservation, showing an Old Railroad Grade and several instances of an Abandoned Logging Road crisscrossing the terrain near Green Mountain.

Evidence of local habitation is sparse but specific, with the Klaskanine Fish Hatchery serving as a significant landmark near the river's junction. Small named locations like Lilleas and Estoos are noted, while the rugged topography to the south is preserved within Saddle Mountain State Park. The transition from a rail-dependent timber economy to a motorized one is visible through the presence of the Nehalem Highway and the State Forest Service Road, which provide access to the river's interior at Barth Falls.
