1956 Map of Heceta Head

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Heceta Head Lighthouse stands as a prominent maritime landmark on this mid-century survey of the Lane County coast. This rugged stretch of the Pacific Ocean shoreline is defined by its dramatic transition from massive sand dunes and coastal lakes to the steep timbered slopes of the Siuslaw National Forest. Inland, a network of freshwater bodies including Mercer Lake, Sutton Lake, and Clear Lake are separated from the sea by narrow ridges and shifting sands, illustrating the unique hydrology of the Oregon Coast before extensive modern development.
