About this map

The timber-rich landscape of Clatsop State Forest dominates this mid-1980s topographical survey, centered on the prominent elevation of Nicolai Mtn. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Gnat Creek and Fishhawk Creek, which carve through the high ridges. Human activity is largely industrial and utility-focused, indicated by the presence of a Quarry, a Gravel Pit, and a Radio Facility near the summit of Nicolai Ridge.

Transport and access are facilitated by specialized logging and mountain routes such as the Nicolai Mainline and Kerry Road. These corridors, alongside Shingle Mill Road, highlight the area's ongoing role in Oregon's forestry economy. For researchers of local infrastructure or land management, the map traces the exact State Forest Boundary and identifies specialized landmarks like the Lookout Tower, essential for forest fire monitoring during this era.
