2017 Map of Nortons

About this map

The Yaquina River winds through the southern portion of this Lincoln County landscape, defining the topography around the settlement of Nortons. This mid-2010s survey reveals a region characterized by named ridges and peaks, such as Norton Hill, Tater Hill, and Sch Hill, which overlook a dense network of drainages including Big Rock Cr and Steer Cr. The map captures the dividing line between Lincoln and Polk counties as it traverses high points like Steer Divide and Indian Gap. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its placement of local landmarks like Nortons Cem and Wigle Cem. The presence of Millers Gap and various named logging and access roads, such as Nashville Rd and Logsden Rd, provides a clear view of the modern transit and land use patterns in this part of the Coast Range.
