2011 Map of Mercer Lake OE W

About this map

Pacific Ocean swells dominate this coastal study, where the Oregon shoreline meets the water at the northern edge of the Siuslaw River mouth. The settlement at Heceta Beach sits just north of the river's entrance, illustrating the residential development pattern near the N Jetty Rd corridor. This particular section of the Lane County coast is defined by its distinct natural landmarks, ranging from the prominent Sea Lion Point and Cox Rock in the north to the sandy stretches of Baker Beach. The drainage of Sutton Creek cuts through the coastal dunes, while Cannery Point marks a historical industrial reference point along the lower Siuslaw River. The map provides a precise view of the interaction between the maritime environment and the emerging road network of the early 21st century.
