2014 Map of Loon Lake

About this map

Ash Valley and the small settlement of Ash are the primary focal points of this 2014 survey, which documents the complex drainage basins of the Oregon Coast Range. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Lake Creek, which feeds into the prominent Loon Lake. Geological landmarks like Saint Patricks Rock and Beehive Rock rise above the deep valleys, while Platinum Falls marks a significant drop in the local hydrology. The map details a web of forestry and access roads, including Camp Creek Rd and Elk Ridge Forest Rd, which navigate the steep terrain between Umpcoos Ridge and Indian Ridge. Straddling the Douglas and Coos County line, the area shows a persistent pattern of rural life and timber-related infrastructure, with Michigan Pass serving as a key corridor through the high country.
