About this map

Saddle Mountain dominates this landscape in the northern Oregon Coast Range, serving as a prominent geographical anchor within the Clatsop State Forest. The area is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the headwaters of the Youngs River and the Nehalem River. By the mid-1980s, the map reveals a terrain managed for both recreation and natural resource extraction, as evidenced by several Borrow Pit and Quarry sites dotting the forest.

Conservation and public access are highlighted through the presence of Saddle Mountain State Park and the smaller Necanicum State Park. Named landmarks like Flagpole Ridge and David Douglas County Wayside provide specific points of interest for those studying the regional geography and development of Clatsop County. The intricate creek systems, such as West Humbug Creek and Destruction Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology that characterizes this timber-producing region of the Pacific Northwest.
