About this map

The Yaquina River winds through this coastal range landscape, anchoring the small settlement of Nortons at a point where several tributaries converge. The area is defined by its complex drainage network and prominent high points such as Norton Hill, Tater Hill, and School Hill. Significant for local researchers, the map identifies the Wigle Cemetery and Nortons Cemetery, providing precise locations for these historical burial grounds.

Industry and conservation in the region are represented by the Oregon State Fish Hatchery located along Little Rock Creek. The terrain is marked by notable passes and ridges, including Millers Gap, Indian Gap, and the Steer Divide. This detailed topographic record shows a landscape shaped by both natural watercourses and the development of local access routes like Norton Rd and Wigle Rd, which trace the contours of the timbered hills.
