About this map

Lincoln City serves as the central hub of this coastal survey, where several distinct beach communities merge along the Highway 101 corridor. The map documents the residential and commercial layout of established neighborhoods including Wecoma Beach, Oceanlake, Delake, Nelscott, and Taft. This settlement pattern reflects decades of coastal development where small, independent townships eventually unified into a single municipality while maintaining their original local identities.

The landscape is defined by its maritime geography, from the Salishan Spit protecting Siletz Bay to the freshwater expanse of Devils Lake to the north. Inland, the map reveals the transition from coastal tourism to river-influenced terrain near Kernville, where the Siletz River meets Millport Slough. Notable landmarks for researchers include the Taft Cem, the Josephine Young Memorial Park, and the Siletz Bay State Airport, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure supporting this portion of the Oregon coast.
