About this map

Marys Peak serves as the prominent high point in this section of the Oregon Coast Range, marking a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Marys River and the Tumtum River. Small communities and historic gathering points like Blodgett, Summit, Alder, and Burnt Woods are connected by the Corvallis-Newport Hwy, reflecting the region's enduring timber and transport routes. The division between Lincoln and Benton counties runs through these ridges, which are largely protected within the Siuslaw National Forest.

Genealogists and local historians can find several small burial sites tucked into the hills, including Mulkey Cem, Leslie Cem, and Davidson Cem. The mapping shows a network of forest roads such as Marys Peak Rd and Woods Creek Rd that navigate steep terrain features like Shroyer Ridge and Chinquapin Ridge. Notable water bodies like Thompson Lake and numerous creeks such as Shotpouch Cr and Bark Cr illustrate the complex watershed of this heavily forested upland.
