1942 Map of Heceta Head

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Heceta Head and the dramatic Lane County coastline are documented here during the early 1940s, a period when the Oregon Coast Highway served as the primary artery through the Siuslaw National Forest. The landscape is defined by the intersection of freshwater lakes and the Pacific Ocean, with Mercer Lake, Sutton Lake, and Munsel Lake nestled behind the coastal dunes. The presence of the Coast Guard Station near the mouth of the Siuslaw River and fire lookouts atop Herman Peak and Cape Mtn reflect the strategic and protective infrastructure of the era.
