2011 Map of Necanicum Junction

About this map

The Necanicum River basin serves as the primary drainage for this corner of Clatsop County, where the Necanicum Junction marks the convergence of local transit routes and timber access roads. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of several critical coastal systems, including the South Fork Lewis and Clark River and its numerous tributaries such as Beerman Creek and Klootchie Creek. The terrain rises sharply toward prominent landmarks like Twin Peaks and Davis Point, providing a strategic overlook for the Clatsop Fire Tower. Significant logging and forestry infrastructure is visible through the presence of the Necanicum Mainline, which navigates the steep valleys alongside creeks like Wolf Creek and Little Humbug Creek. Historically minded researchers will find interest in the intersection of naming conventions between natural features and the early road network, including Hamlet Rd and County Rd 10.
