1979 Map of Roaring Creek

About this map

The Tillamook State Forest dominates this topographic landscape along the border of Washington and Tillamook counties. In the late 1970s, this area was defined by a dense network of timber-access infrastructure and rugged drainage basins. Recreational sites like Camp Brown Forest Park and Rogers Forest Park provide focal points for the forest's public use, while the historic route of the Old Wilson River Road traces the path of the Wilson River and its Devils Lake Fork. The map documents a strictly managed industrial forest, illustrated by the Stimson Mainline (Private) and numerous unnamed forest roads. Prominent elevations such as Saddle Mtn and Baseline Ridge rise above the headwaters of Scoggins Creek and Roaring Creek, marking the divide between major watershed systems in the Oregon Coast Range.
