2020 Map of Roaring Creek

About this map

The high peaks of Saddle Mtn and South Saddle Mtn dominate this portion of the Northern Oregon Coast Range along the border of Tillamook and Washington Counties. This area is defined by its complex network of forestry roads and historic routes, including the Wilson River Wagon Road Trail and the Nels Rogers Trail. The drainage patterns are intricate, with headwaters for Roaring Creek, Devils Lake Fork, and South Fork Gales Creek carving through the steep topography. An Old Railroad Grade Road in the southern portion of the map suggests the legacy of early 20th-century logging infrastructure that once penetrated these deep valleys. Notable landmarks like Skunk Hollow and Baseline Ridge provide further orientation for those tracing the geographic history of this timber-rich region.
