About this map

The coastal environment of the Pacific Northwest is illustrated along this shoreline stretch where the Siuslaw River meets the sea. The northern edge of Florence is documented near the river mouth, with the residential layout of Heceta Beach sitting further north along the coast. This 2014 survey reveals the proximity of modern local roads like Rhododendron Dr and N Jetty Rd to the expansive protected lands of the Siuslaw National Forest.

Natural landmarks define the shoreline, from the northern heights of Sea Lion Point down to the sandy reaches of Baker Beach. Further south, the map details the terrain around Sutton Cr and the industrial or maritime history suggested by Cannery Point at the river's edge. The network of local streets such as Joshua Ln and Sharptail Dr provides a clear view of the community's interface with the dunes and the forest.
