About this map

The Nehalem River meanders through the heart of the Nehalem Valley, a landscape dominated by timber management and rural settlements in Clatsop County. Near the western edge of the map, the community of Jewell serves as a local hub where Hwy 103 meets historical routes like Old 77 At Jewell. To the southeast, the terrain rises toward Green Mountain, accessed by specialized forestry routes such as Green Mountain Lookout Rd.

Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident through a dense network of timber-related roads, including the Buster Creek Mainline and Walker Ridge Crossover. Remote outposts like Buster Camp and Grand Rapids reflect the region's long-standing connection to the logging industry. The drainage systems of Sager Creek, Walker Creek, and Mulak Creek define the topography, illustrating how the valley's development followed the natural breaks in the coastal range forest.
