1979 Map of Nehalem River

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Clatsop State Forest and Tillamook State Forest dominate this landscape, where the northern Oregon coast meets the inland timberlands of the Coast Range. The map details the intricate drainage basins of the Nehalem River, Wilson River, and Miami River, which have long defined the region's transport and economy. Coastal settlements such as Seaside, Cannon Beach, and Manzanita are mapped alongside the interior logging and rail towns of Vernonia and Banks. The heavy infrastructure required for the timber industry is evident in the winding route of the Southern Pacific railroad and numerous mountain roads like the Sunset Highway. Notable landmarks such as Neahkahnie Mtn and Haystack Rock anchor the shoreline, while inland, the network of river forks and creeks reveals the topography that shaped local communities like Elsie and Mist during the late twentieth century.
