2017 Map of Kilchis River

About this map

The Kilchis River and Miami River systems dominate this coastal landscape, carving deep drainages into the high timberlands of Tillamook County. Near the southern edge, the community of Bay City sits just above the marshy lowlands, providing a clear view of the transition from industrial forest to the coastal interface. The presence of the Bay City IOOF Cem and the settlement of Idaville along Idaville Rd offers specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in the Tillamook Bay area. Moving inland, the map details an extensive network of logging and forest service roads, such as Kilchis River Forest Rd and Moss Creek Rd, which navigate around prominent landmarks like Tilden Bluffs and Doty Hill. Small tributaries including School Cr and Washout Cr illustrate the complex watershed that defines this region's geography and economic history.
