2020 Map of Neskowin

About this map

The coastal hamlet of Neskowin sits along the northern edge of this survey, where the Pacific Ocean meets Kiwanda Beach and the iconic Proposal Rock. The landscape is defined by its significant conservation areas, including the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge and the southern reaches of the Siuslaw National Forest. Inland, the terrain rises sharply toward Neskowin Ridge and Green Point, separated by numerous drainages such as Slick Rock Creek and the winding Salmon River. To the south, the expansion of Lincoln City and the community of Neotsu near the county line indicate the modern residential development of the Oregon coast. The Oregon Coast Highway serves as the primary artery connecting these shoreline settlements to inland communities like Otis and Rose Lodge, illustrating the region's dependence on this single transportation corridor through the timbered hills.
