About this map

Jewell sits at a critical junction in Clatsop County where the Nehalem River meanders through the broad Nehalem Valley. This landscape is defined by its complex network of timber and access roads, many named for the waterways and ridges they follow, such as Buster Creek Mainline and Sager Creek Ridge Rd. The terrain rises sharply toward the south at Green Mtn, where Green Mountain Lookout Rd suggests a vantage point over the surrounding timberlands.

Water serves as the primary geographic marker here, with numerous drainages like Buster Cr, Selder Cr, and Slaughter's Cr feeding the Nehalem. Roads such as Fishhawk Falls Hwy 103 and Old 77 Vesper Ln indicate the historical connectivity between small mountain settlements and the river valley. The map preserves a modern record of these drainages and the intricate roadway systems essential to the region's logging and rural history.
