About this map

Westport Slough and Uncle Tom Slough define the northern lowlands of this landscape, where the settlements of Kerry, Woodson, and Marshland sit along the corridor of Old US Hwy 30. The terrain rises sharply to the south into the timbered heights of Skunk Cabbage Ridge and Tunnel Mtn, eventually dropping into the Nehalem Valley. This transition from the tidal influence of the Columbia River basin to the headwaters of the Nehalem River illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the Coast Range.

Local history is preserved in landmarks like the Fishhawk Cem near the riverbanks and the residential cluster at Fishhawk Lake. The southern edge of the map reaches the community of Mist, located at the junction of several drainage systems including Lindgren Cr and Lyons Cr. The network of logging and access roads, such as Joe Flora Rd and Fishhawk Rd, provides a detailed look at the infrastructure supporting the region's rural economy.
