About this map

The Alsea River flows through the southern reach of this Lincoln County landscape, defining a corridor of complex river features including Hellion Rapids and the deep incision of Hellion Canyon. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges and mountains such as Table Mountain, Scott Mountain, and Stoney Mountain, which dictate the drainage patterns of numerous named waterways like Drift Creek and its many forks.

Evidence of local land use and infrastructure appears in the form of the Bohannon Ranch in the north and the Fall Creek Fish Hatchery to the southeast. Outdoor waypoints like Klickitat Shelter and Tenmile Shelter are situated along the ridges, while legacy place names like Schoolhouse Creek hint at earlier community centers. The map also captures specific topographical landmarks such as the Upper Drift Creek Slide, reflecting the dynamic geology of this coastal range environment.
