1955 Map of Hebo

About this map

The Nestucca River and its various tributaries define this coastal region of Tillamook County during the mid-1950s. Settlement patterns follow the river valleys and the winding path of the Coast Highway, with small communities like Cloverdale and Woods serving as inland anchors. Along the shore, Pacific City sits at the mouth of Nestucca Bay, sheltered by the prominent Cape Kiwanda. The interior is dominated by the Siuslaw National Forest, where infrastructure for land management is evident at the Hebo Ranger Sta and the Salmon River Guard Station. Educational and community life is centered at the Nestucca Union High School and Cloverdale School, while the presence of the Town Lake Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for those researching local family histories and early burials in the area.
