2020 Map of Nehalem

About this map

Neahkahnie Mtn stands as a prominent landmark on this coastal landscape, where the headlands meet the Pacific Ocean. This survey details the complex geography of Nehalem Bay, showing the interplay between the protective Nehalem Spit and the winding channels of the Nehalem River. The settlement pattern reflects the mid-20th-century development of the Tillamook County coast, with established towns like Nehalem and Wheeler situated along the inner waterways, while leisure-oriented communities such as Neahkahnie Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Nedonna Beach line the shore. Transport and infrastructure are represented by the Nehalem Bay State Airport and the coastal highway corridors. Inland, the map reveals the hydrological network feeding the bay, including Foley Cr and McMillan Cr, alongside smaller features like Nedonna Lake and the wetlands around Lazarus Island.
