About this map

Neskowin serves as a focal point along the Oregon coast in this mid-1980s record, where the Pacific Ocean meets the dramatic landforms of Cascade Head and Proposal Rock. The landscape is defined by the intersection of intensive conservation and rural settlement, encompassing the Cascade Head Experimental Forest and the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area. These federal designations protect a complex drainage system where the Salmon River and Neskowin Creek flow toward the sea.

Further inland, the map details small communities such as Otis, Rose Lodge, and Neotsu clustered near the Tillamook Co Lincoln Co boundary. The infrastructure of the era is evident through features like the Gaging Station on the Salmon River, the Neskowin Creek Campground, and the established Golf Course at the coast. The presence of several Quarries and a Fish Hatchery reflects the local resource-based economy alongside the growing importance of coastal recreation at Neskowin Beach State Wayside.
