About this map

Lincoln City and its coastal neighbors define this mid-1980s Pacific shoreline, illustrating a dense network of beach communities connected by a developing coastal corridor. The map details the transition from the freshwater Devils Lake and its short D River out to the Pacific Ocean. This area is characterized by distinct residential clusters such as Oceanlake, Wecoma Beach, Nelscott, and De Lake, which reflect the region's mid-century growth as a premier coastal destination.

To the south, the landscape opens into the ecologically significant Siletz Bay, protected by the elongated Salishan Spit. This area shows the complex hydrology of North Lagoon, South Lagoon, and Millport Slough near the settlement of Kernville. Public lands and recreational infrastructure are prominent, including Devils Lake State Park, Josephine Young Memorial Park, and the Gleneden Beach State Wayside, marking the established balance between development and coastal preservation at this time.
