About this map

The Hamlet settlement sits along the North Fork Nehalem River in this 1984 survey of the Northern Oregon Coast Range. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Clatsop State Forest and Tillamook State Forest, where the county line separates Clatsop and Tillamook. The terrain transitions from the high points of Cole Mountain and Rector Ridge down into the riparian bottoms of Gods Valley.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Nehalem River winding through the eastern portion of the sheet, creating notable features such as Beaver Eddy and Morrison Eddy. Small, distinctly named drainages like Sweet Home Creek, Soapstone Creek, and Bastard Creek reveal the localized nomenclature of the timber and homesteading eras. The presence of a Borrow Pit and various ridges like Four Seven Ridge reflects a landscape managed for forestry and accessible only by a network of unimproved roads and trails.
