1942 Map of Nestucca Bay

About this map

The Nestucca River and Salmon River define this coastal landscape during the early 1940s, a period when the timber industry and forest management were deeply integrated into the local geography. The map reveals a network of resource-related landmarks, from the Hebohalder Mill in the north to the Cascade Head Experimental Forest Station in the south. Coastal settlements like Pacific City, Neskowin, and Winema Beach are connected by the burgeoning Coast Highway, while inland communities such as Cloverdale and Dolph sit within the vast boundaries of the Siuslaw National Forest.
